The new BigQuery Sink V2 connector, a significant upgrade to the existing BigQuery Sink connector, leverages Google's recommended Storage Write API and adds OAuth 2.0 support, enabling customers to stream records in parallel through an internal thread pool and supporting multiple data formats. This updated connector aligns with Google Cloud's best practices and recommendations, ensuring customers benefit from the latest technologies. With improved efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility, the BigQuery Sink V2 connector simplifies the data ingestion process for users, while also reducing the total cost of ownership. The new connector offers enhanced security features, scalability, and support for multiple data formats, including Avro, JSON Schema, Protobuf, and JSON schemaless input data formats. Additionally, customers can migrate their existing pipelines to use the new connector by creating a test environment and running it against a test pipeline before moving their existing pipelines. The new connector is available on Google Cloud, Confluent Cloud on AWS, and Azure, with a demo webinar and documentation available for users to learn more about its capabilities.
