[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

damccorm opened a new issue, #19866:
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/19866

   I'm trying to create a simple test pipeline that export BigQuery as Parquet using BigQueryAvroUtils.java from Beam's code.
   
   When trying to read the BigQuery data and read it as Avro Generic Record, somehow the code failed when trying to read the data with this exception
   ```
   
   org.apache.avro.UnresolvedUnionException: Not in union ["null",{"type":"record","name":"record","namespace":"Translated
   Avro Schema for record","doc":"org.apache.beam.sdk.io.gcp.bigquery","fields":[{"name":"key_2","type":["null","string"]},{"name":"key_1","type":["null","double"]}]}]:
   {"key_2": "asdasd", "key_1": 123123.123}
   
   ```
   
   I have checked the Avro schema and it's the same with its BigQuery schema counterpart.
   
   Then I tried to export the BigQuery table using BigQuery console as Avro and compare its schema with the one generated from BigQueryAvroUtils.java. Turns out there's some difference at the Avro namespace between BigQueryAvroUtils.java and from BigQuery export.
   
   After I tried to patch the BigQueryAvroUtils.java to make the schema result the same with the schema from BigQuery export then the exception went away.
   
   So, I want to confirm whether there's problem in my implementation or BigQuery create a slightly different Avro schema
   
   I've created a simple code along with the patch and data sample here [https://github.com/zakazai/bq-to-parquet](https://github.com/zakazai/bq-to-parquet)
