        String.format(
            "SELECT * FROM s%.%s.%s WHERE name LIKE 'W%%'",
            projectId, datasetName, externalTableName);
    queryExternalTableAws(query);
  }

  public static void queryExternalTableAws(String query) throws InterruptedException {

      // once, and can be reused for multiple requests.
      BigQuery bigquery = BigQueryOptions.getDefaultInstance().getService();

      TableResult results = bigquery.query(QueryJobConfiguration.of(query));

      results
          .iterateAll()
          .forEach(row -> row.forEach(val -> System.out.printf("%s,", val.toString())));

      System.out.println("Query on aws external permanent table performed successfully.");
    } catch (BigQueryException e) {
      System.out.println("Query not performed \n" + e.toString());
    }
