Feature Representation
Features read from BigQuery consist of a series of attribute values only – no geometry. The feature type of each feature is as defined on its DEF line but the only type used is googlebigquery_none.
In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this topic.

googlebigquery_type |
The type of geometric entity stored within the feature. The valid values for the object model are listed below: googlebigquery_none |
Features read from BigQuery have an attribute for each column in the database table. The feature attribute name will be the same as the source or destination column name. Nested and repeated data is automatically flattened, which can result in multiple features per BigQuery row.
No Coordinates
googlebigquery_type: googlebigquery_none
Features with no coordinates are tagged with this value when reading or writing to or from BigQuery. This is the only type of a BigQuery feature.
