The following BigQuery configuration parameters are supported:
project_id - (String) Identifier for a BigQuery project. (The
parameter project is considered deprecated, but may also be used.)
credentials - (String, Hash, Google::Auth::Credentials) The path to
the keyfile as a String, the contents of the keyfile as a Hash, or a
Google::Auth::Credentials object. (See Credentials) (The
parameter keyfile is considered deprecated, but may also be used.)
endpoint - (String) Override of the endpoint host name, or nil
to use the default endpoint.
scope - (String, Array
retries - (Integer) Number of times to retry requests on server
error.
timeout - (Integer) Default timeout to use in requests.
Yields
(Google::Cloud.configure.bigquery)
Returns
(Google::Cloud::Config) โ The configuration object the
Google::Cloud::Bigquery library uses.
Creates a new Project instance connected to the BigQuery service.
Each call creates a new connection.
For more information on connecting to Google Cloud see the
Authentication Guide.
Parameters
project_id (String) (defaults to: nil) โ Identifier for a BigQuery project. If not
present, the default project for the credentials is used.
credentials (String, Hash, Google::Auth::Credentials) (defaults to: nil) โ The path to
the keyfile as a String, the contents of the keyfile as a Hash, or a
