Stephen Johnston commented on BEAM-4685: ---------------------------------------- [~chamikara] I think this is solvable by leaving off the partitioning info. It seems this might be an API issue, not a Beam issue. Regardless of the CREATE_DISPOSITION the API performs partitioning validation if it is sent in the job information. > Allow writing to time partitioned tables when CreateDisposition==CREATE_NEVER > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: BEAM-4685 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4685 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: io-java-gcp > Reporter: Chamikara Jayalath > Priority: Major > > Writing to time partitioned table fails when CreateDisposition==CREATE_NEVER > with error "Table with field based partitioning must have a schema". > This seems to be due to BigQuery not setting schema for this case. > [https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/google-cloud-platform/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/gcp/bigquery/WriteTables.java#L114] > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
