Google BigQuery - Download Query Results to Google Cloud Storage

Overview​

Turn the results of your SQL SELECT statement into CSV files that get stored in Google Cloud Storage (GCS).

When exporting data from BigQuery, a file cannot contain more than 1GB of data. As a result, this Blueprint automatically splits up data that is >1GB in size into multiple files. The name of these files will be the Bucket File Name provided, with _# base 0 enumeration appended to the file name, before the file extension. This is the default behavior provided by Google.

Ex. If you provide a file name of data.csv and your data is 2.4GB in total, 3 files would need to be generated. The names of these files will be data_0.csv, data_1.csv, and data_2.csv.
