To use the Google Java client to load data into an existing BQ table, follow these steps:

  1. Include the necessary libraries in your Java project by adding the following dependencies to your pom.xml file:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>google-cloud-bigquery</artifactId>
        <version>1.35.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.api-client</groupId>
        <artifactId>google-api-client</artifactId>
        <version>1.32.1</version>
    </dependency>
    
  2. Create a BigQuery instance using the BigQueryOptions class:

    BigQuery bigquery = BigQueryOptions.newBuilder()
        .setProjectId(projectId)
        .build().getService();
    

    Replace projectId with the ID of the project containing the BQ table you want to load data into.

  3. Create a TableId instance for the table you want to load data into:

    TableId tableId = TableId.of(projectId, datasetId, tableId);
    

    Replace datasetId with the ID of the dataset containing the table, and tableId with the ID of the table.

  4. Create a TableDataWriteChannel instance to write data to the table:

    TableDataWriteChannel writer = bigquery.writer().write(tableId);
    OutputStream stream = Channels.newOutputStream(writer);
    
  5. Serialize your data and write it to the OutputStream:

    String data = "[{\"name\":\"John\", \"age\": 30}, {\"name\":\"Jane\", \"age\": 25}]";
    stream.write(data.getBytes());
    

    Replace data with the JSON representation of your data.

  6. Close the channel to complete the upload:

    writer.close();
    

Your data should now be uploaded to the BQ table.
