[GitHub] [beam] kennknowles opened a new issue, #19395: Consider removing the requirement that users need to base64-encode their BYTES before passing them to BQ IO connector.

kennknowles opened a new issue, #19395:
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/19395

   Currently, when BigQuery IO connector reads or stores BYTES datatype in BigQuery, there is an expectation that users base64-encode the bytes before passing them to the connector, see [1,2]. 
   This may be an extra overhead for users to do base64 encoding when interacting with Beam, that is possible to avoid. Filing this issue to reconsider this behavior.
