Analytics. The book's
contents demonstrate how to use BigQuery effectively, avoid common mistakes
and execute sophisticated queries against large data sets. Targeted at
business and data analysts who want the latest tips on running complex
queries and writing code to communicate with the BigQuery API, the book uses
real-world examples to demonstrate current best practices and
techniques. Other covered topics include explaination and demonstration of
streaming ingestion, transformation via Hadoop in Google Compute engine,
