Overview

Integrate.io uses BigQuery’s streaming insert API to ingest data into BigQuery. This requires billing to be enabled on the Google Cloud project.

​
Requirements

  • Billing must be enabled on the Google Cloud project.
  • Ensure you have permission to create a service account with the BigQuery Data Editor role on the project.

Limitations

BigQuery doesn’t support deduplication. Instead, the following columns are added to the destination table for future deduplication on the customer’s side. __offset - Offset column. Keeps track of the offset in incremental order to determine which existing row is the latest.
__op - Operation column. Tells what kind of operation is performed for a particular row (0 - Created, 1 - Inserted, 2 - Updated, 3 - Deleted) This query is to list the de-duplicated records: 
SELECT customer.*
FROM (SELECT id,
             ARRAY_AGG(
                     t ORDER BY t.__offset DESC LIMIT 1
                 )[OFFSET(0)] customer
      FROM \`euphoric-effect-296205.northwind.customer\` t
      GROUP BY id);
This query is to upsert a staging table that Integrate.io is syncing to, into a production table used for querying: 
MERGE INTO \`northwind\`.customers o
    USING (SELECT event.*
           FROM (SELECT customer_id,
                        ARRAY_AGG(
                                t ORDER BY t.__offset DESC LIMIT 1
                            )[OFFSET(0)] event
                 FROM customers_staging_1 t
                 GROUP BY customer_id)) as s
    ON o.customer_id = s.customer_id
    WHEN MATCHED AND s.__op = 3 THEN
        DELETE
    WHEN MATCHED THEN
        UPDATE SET o.company_name = s.company_name, o.__op = s.__op
    WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
        INSERT ROW
After deleting tables on BigQuery, we have to wait (5+ minutes) to let the change propagate to all the machines in the BigQuery cluster. Otherwise, it might lead to some rows missing. This happens on resync requests. Please contact support@integrate.io to assist with the resync timing of user tables.
