A Google BigQuery default table definition. This definition is used for standard, two-dimensional
tables with individual records organized in rows, and a data type assigned to each column (also
called a field). Individual fields within a record may contain nested and repeated children
fields. Every table is described by a schema that describes field names, types, and other
information.
