             Summary: BigQuery IO: Avro INTEGER values get converted to String objects
                 Key: BEAM-11047
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-11047
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: io-java-gcp
    Affects Versions: 2.24.0, 2.23.0, 2.22.0
            Reporter: Jonas Grabber


For some reason, `convertRequiredField` used in `BigQueryAvroUtils.convertGenericRecordToTableRow` casts values with the Avro `INTEGER` type to `Long`, but then converts them to `String` objects via `toString`.

I'm quite unsure where `convertGenericRecordToTableRow` is used elsewhere, but we use it to utilize BigQuery's Storage API reads.

I'm fairly certain this is not expected behaviour because other types are converted properly and due to the cast to `Long` it's ensured that any values will fit into `Long` objects anyways.
