spark-bigquery

Google BigQuery support for Spark, SQL, and DataFrames.

spark-bigquery version	Spark version	Comment
0.2.x	2.x.y	Active development
0.1.x	1.x.y	Development halted

To use the package in a Google Cloud Dataproc cluster:

install org.apache.avro_avro-ipc-1.7.7.jar to ~/.ivy2/jars

spark-shell --packages com.spotify:spark-bigquery_2.10:0.2.2

To use it in a local SBT console:

import com.spotify.spark.bigquery._

// Set up GCP credentials
sqlContext.setGcpJsonKeyFile("<JSON_KEY_FILE>")

// Set up BigQuery project and bucket
sqlContext.setBigQueryProjectId("<BILLING_PROJECT>")
sqlContext.setBigQueryGcsBucket("<GCS_BUCKET>")

// Set up BigQuery dataset location, default is US
sqlContext.setBigQueryDatasetLocation("<DATASET_LOCATION>")

Usage:

// Load everything from a table
val table = sqlContext.bigQueryTable("bigquery-public-data:samples.shakespeare")

// Load results from a SQL query
// Only legacy SQL dialect is supported for now
val df = sqlContext.bigQuerySelect(
  "SELECT word, word_count FROM [bigquery-public-data:samples.shakespeare]")

// Save data to a table
df.saveAsBigQueryTable("my-project:my_dataset.my_table")

If you'd like to write nested records to BigQuery, be sure to specify an Avro Namespace. BigQuery is unable to load Avro Namespaces with a leading dot (.nestedColumn) on nested records.

// BigQuery is able to load fields with namespace 'myNamespace.nestedColumn'
df.saveAsBigQueryTable("my-project:my_dataset.my_table", tmpWriteOptions = Map("recordNamespace" -> "myNamespace"))

See also Loading Avro Data from Google Cloud Storage for data type mappings and limitations. For example loading arrays of arrays is not supported.
