Streams (streams)

  • Environment variable: TAP_BIGQUERY_STREAMS

Array of objects with name, table, columns, datetime_key, and filters keys:

  • name: The entity name, used by most loaders as the name of the table to be created.
  • table: Fully qualified table name in BigQuery, with format `<project>.<dataset>.<table>`. Since backticks have special meaning in YAML, values in meltano.yml should be wrapped in double quotes.
  • columns: Array of column names to select. Using ["*"] is not recommended as it can become very expensive for a table with a large number of columns.
  • datetime_key: Name of datetime column to use as replication key.
  • filters: Optional array of WHERE clauses to filter extracted data, e.g. "column='value'".

Credentials Path (credentials_path)

  • Environment variable: TAP_BIGQUERY_CREDENTIALS_PATH
  • Default Value: $MELTANO_PROJECT_ROOT/client_secrets.json

Fully qualified path to client_secrets.json for your service account.

See the "Activate the Google BigQuery API" section of the repository's README and https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production.

By default, this file is expected to be at the root of your project directory.

Start Datetime (start_datetime)

  • Environment variable: TAP_BIGQUERY_START_DATETIME

Determines how much historical data will be extracted. Please be aware that the larger the time period and amount of data, the longer the initial extraction can be expected to take.

End Datetime (end_datetime)

  • Environment variable: TAP_BIGQUERY_END_DATETIME

Date up to when historical data will be extracted.

Limit (limit)

  • Environment variable: TAP_BIGQUERY_LIMIT

Limits the number of records returned in each stream, applied as a limit in the query.

Start Always Inclusive (start_always_inclusive)

  • Environment variable: TAP_BIGQUERY_START_ALWAYS_INCLUSIVE
  • Default Value: true

When replicating incrementally, disable to only select records whose datetime_key is greater than the maximum value replicated in the last run, by excluding records whose timestamps match exactly. This could cause records to be missed that were created after the last run finished, but during the same second and with the same timestamp.
