In this section, we provide guides and references to use the BigQuery connector.

Configure and schedule BigQuery metadata and profiler workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

• Requirements
• Metadata Ingestion
  • Incremental Extraction
• Query Usage
• Lineage
• Data Profiler
• Data Quality
• dbt Integration

Requirements

Python Requirements

{% partial file="/v1.6/connectors/python-requirements.md" /%}

To run the BigQuery ingestion, you will need to install:

pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[bigquery]"

GCP Permissions

To execute metadata extraction and usage workflow successfully the user or the service account should have enough access to fetch required data. Following table describes the minimum required permissions

{% multiTablesWrapper %}

#	GCP Permission	Required For
1	bigquery.datasets.get	Metadata Ingestion
2	bigquery.tables.get	Metadata Ingestion
3	bigquery.tables.getData	Metadata Ingestion
4	bigquery.tables.list	Metadata Ingestion
5	resourcemanager.projects.get	Metadata Ingestion
6	bigquery.jobs.create	Metadata Ingestion
7	bigquery.jobs.listAll	Metadata Ingestion
8	bigquery.routines.get	Stored Procedure
9	bigquery.routines.list	Stored Procedure
10	datacatalog.taxonomies.get	Fetch Policy Tags
11	datacatalog.taxonomies.list	Fetch Policy Tags
12	bigquery.readsessions.create	Bigquery Usage & Lineage Workflow
13	bigquery.readsessions.getData	Bigquery Usage & Lineage Workflow
14	logging.operations.list	Incremental Metadata Ingestion
15	logging.logEntries.list	Incremental Metadata Ingestion

{% note %} If the user has External Tables, please attach relevant permissions needed for external tables, alongwith the above list of permissions. {% /note %}

Metadata Ingestion

1. Define the YAML Config

This is a sample config for BigQuery:

{% codePreview %}

{% codeInfoContainer %}

Source Configuration - Service Connection

{% codeInfo srNumber=1 %}

hostPort: BigQuery APIs URL. By default the API URL is bigquery.googleapis.com you can modify this if you have custom implementation of BigQuery.

credentials: You can authenticate with your bigquery instance using either GCP Credentials Path where you can specify the file path of the service account key or you can pass the values directly by choosing the GCP Credentials Values from the service account key file.

You can checkout this documentation on how to create the service account keys and download it.

gcpConfig:

1. Passing the raw credential values provided by BigQuery. This requires us to provide the following information, all provided by BigQuery:

{% /codeInfo %}

{% partial file="/v1.6/connectors/yaml/common/gcp-config-def.md" /%}

{% codeInfo srNumber=4 %}

2. Passing a local file path that contains the credentials:

• gcpCredentialsPath

Taxonomy Project ID (Optional): Bigquery uses taxonomies to create hierarchical groups of policy tags. To apply access controls to BigQuery columns, tag the columns with policy tags. Learn more about how yo can create policy tags and set up column-level access control here

If you have attached policy tags to the columns of table available in Bigquery, then OpenMetadata will fetch those tags and attach it to the respective columns.

In this field you need to specify the id of project in which the taxonomy was created.

Taxonomy Location (Optional): Bigquery uses taxonomies to create hierarchical groups of policy tags. To apply access controls to BigQuery columns, tag the columns with policy tags. Learn more about how yo can create policy tags and set up column-level access control here

If you have attached policy tags to the columns of table available in Bigquery, then OpenMetadata will fetch those tags and attach it to the respective columns.

In this field you need to specify the location/region in which the taxonomy was created.

Usage Location (Optional): Location used to query INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_PROJECT to fetch usage data. You can pass multi-regions, such as us or eu, or your specific region such as us-east1. Australia and Asia multi-regions are not yet supported.

• If you prefer to pass the credentials file, you can do so as follows:

credentials:
  gcpConfig: 
    path: <path to file>

• If you want to use ADC authentication for BigQuery you can just leave the GCP credentials empty. This is why they are not marked as required.

...
  config:
    type: BigQuery
    credentials:
      gcpConfig: {}
...

Advanced Configuration

{% codeInfo srNumber=2 %}

Connection Options (Optional): Enter the details for any additional connection options that can be sent to database during the connection. These details must be added as Key-Value pairs.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=3 %}

Connection Arguments (Optional): Enter the details for any additional connection arguments such as security or protocol configs that can be sent to database during the connection. These details must be added as Key-Value pairs.

• In case you are using Single-Sign-On (SSO) for authentication, add the authenticator details in the Connection Arguments as a Key-Value pair as follows: "authenticator" : "sso_login_url"
