    create_bqstorage_client: bool = True,
)

[Beta] Create a class:pyarrow.Table by loading all pages of a table or query.

Parameters
NameDescription
progress_bar_type Optional[str]

If set, use the tqdm <https://tqdm.github.io/>_ library to display a progress bar while the data downloads. Install the tqdm package to use this feature. Possible values of progress_bar_type include: None No progress bar. 'tqdm' Use the tqdm.tqdm function to print a progress bar to :data:sys.stderr. 'tqdm_notebook' Use the tqdm.tqdm_notebook function to display a progress bar as a Jupyter notebook widget. 'tqdm_gui' Use the tqdm.tqdm_gui function to display a progress bar as a graphical dialog box.

create_bqstorage_client Optional[bool]

If True (default), create a BigQuery Storage API client using the default API settings. The BigQuery Storage API is a faster way to fetch rows from BigQuery. See the bqstorage_client parameter for more information. This argument does nothing if bqstorage_client is supplied. .. versionadded:: 1.24.0

bqstorage_client Optional[google.cloud.bigquery_storage_v1.BigQueryReadClient]

A BigQuery Storage API client. If supplied, use the faster BigQuery Storage API to fetch rows from BigQuery. This API is a billable API. This method requires the pyarrow and google-cloud-bigquery-storage libraries. This method only exposes a subset of the capabilities of the BigQuery Storage API. For full access to all features (projections, filters, snapshots) use the Storage API directly.

Exceptions
TypeDescription

Parameters
NameDescription
