Allow Big Query Materialized Views to be partitioned and have column descriptions.
We would like to be able to use Dataform to create Big Query Materialized Views with partitions and column descriptions.
Materialized Views in Big Query can have partitions (https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/materialized-views-create#partitioned_materialized_views) and column descriptions. In Dataform when we try and do this we get errors. E.g. for partitioning we get a File has compile error:
.
This seems like a pretty straightforward bug, is there a reason it hasn't been addressed?
@damienhollis the reason is simply capacity on the Dataform team, vs. other higher priority bugs/features!
Please do send us a PR if you'd like.
Closing, as this has been implemented in https://github.com/dataform-co/dataform/pull/1660 (thanks so much @vlad-ogol!) and plumbed through in GCP b/323396829.
