BigQuery Storage Write API: JsonStreamWriter cannot transform BigDecimal with 9+ decimals to BigNumeric #2013
Description
Environment details
- OS type and version: OSX 11.6.3
- Java version: OpenSDK 11
- version(s): v2.28.3 and later
Steps to reproduce
- Define a TableSchema with a field of type
BIGNUMERIC - Serialize a JSON message to Proto containing more than 9 decimals, eg. the number
24.6789012345
Code example
This unit test could be added to JsonToProtoMessageTest to reproduce it:
@Test
public void testBigDecimalToBigNumericConversion() {
TableSchema ts =
TableSchema.newBuilder()
.addFields(
0,
TableFieldSchema.newBuilder()
.setName("bignumeric")
.setType(TableFieldSchema.Type.BIGNUMERIC)
.setMode(TableFieldSchema.Mode.REPEATED)
.build())
.build();
TestBignumeric expectedProto =
TestBignumeric.newBuilder()
.addBignumeric(
BigDecimalByteStringEncoder.encodeToBigNumericByteString(
new BigDecimal("24.6789012345")))
.build();
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
json.put("bignumeric", Collections.singletonList(new BigDecimal("24.6789012345")));
DynamicMessage protoMsg =
JsonToProtoMessage.convertJsonToProtoMessage(TestBignumeric.getDescriptor(), ts, json);
assertEquals(expectedProto, protoMsg);
}Stack trace

Any additional information below
On the following lines, encodeToBigNumericByteString should be called instead of encodeToNumericByteString:
