Problem:
When offloading large text or media payloads to Google Cloud Storage (GCS), analytical queries on the logged telemetry database need a secure, unified way to link the external GCS references back to BigQuery. BigQuery Object Tables allow querying external GCS objects securely, but require an explicit BigQuery connection ID.
Solution:
Introduce a new configuration parameter
ConnectionID stringto the pluginConfigstruct (inconfig.go), and initialize it to an empty string by default inDefaultConfig(). This provides a clean, standard location to pass the BigQuery external connection resource path, preparing the analytics plugin to generate secure metadata references (authorizerfield in external object refs).Testing Plan
Verified that the
ConnectionIDfield is successfully defined on theConfigstruct, and that it defaults to an empty string when callingDefaultConfig()in testing.Checklist
