> In Python 2 you could write bytes data to BigQuery. This is tested in
>  [https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/python/apache_beam/io/gcp/big_query_query_to_table_it_test.py#L186]
> Python 3 does not support
> {noformat}
> json.dumps({'test': b'test'}){noformat}
> which is used to encode the data in
>  [https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/python/apache_beam/io/gcp/bigquery_tools.py#L959]
>  
> How should writing bytes to BigQuery be handled in Python 3?
>  * Forbid writing bytes into BigQuery on Python 3
>  * Guess the encoding (utf-8?)
>  * Pass the encoding to BigQuery
