Important issue which blocks shipping the next release. Will be fixed prior to next release.
type: bug
Error or flaw in code with unintended results or allowing sub-optimal usage patterns.
Now that I'm trying to write a tutorial on using the BigQuery Storage API to download query results, I've had a change of heart regarding whether
to_dataframe
should fall back to thetabledata.list
API when there are authentication errors. Originally, I thought we should fallback on authentication errors, but now I see that it hides problems.Someone could have downloaded the right libraries but either don't have the right permissions or haven't enabled the API, but those errors will be swallowed. Instead, downloading large tables will be much slower than expected.
