BigQuery Storage API

The BigQuery Storage API provides high-throughput read and write access to BigQuery managed storage. It enables developers to read data from BigQuery tables using an efficient streaming protocol that is significantly faster than the traditional tabledata.list method. The API supports parallel reads, column filtering, and row filtering to optimize data transfer performance.
