BigQuery Destination: Read timed out Error You're encountering a

com.google.cloud.bigquery.BigQueryException: Read timed out

(caused by

java.net.SocketTimeoutException

) in the destination-bigquery connector. This happens during the initial sync setup phase, specifically when the connector tries to call

getTable

to check if the final table is empty (

isFinalTableEmpty

), before any data is written. What's happening The stack trace shows: 1.

BigQueryDestinationHandler.isFinalTableEmpty

→

BigQueryImpl.getTable

→ HTTP request to BigQuery API → socket read timeout This is a network/connectivity timeout between the Airbyte destination connector and the Google BigQuery API, not a data or configuration error. Possible causes • Transient network issue between your Airbyte instance and the BigQuery API endpoint • GCP API slowness or outage at the time of the sync • Firewall or proxy blocking or throttling outbound HTTPS connections to

bigquery.googleapis.com

• DNS resolution delays causing the initial connection to be slow What you can try 1. Retry the sync — This is often a transient issue. The error occurs before any data is written, so retrying is safe. 2. Check GCP status — Verify there are no ongoing incidents on the Google Cloud Status Dashboard. 3. Check network connectivity — Ensure your Airbyte instance can reliably reach

bigquery.googleapis.com

on port 443 without timeouts. 4. Upgrade dependencies — There is an open PR [deps bump] that bumps the BigQuery Cloud dependency (

google-cloud-bigquery

) to the latest version, which may include fixes for HTTP client behavior. If you're self-hosting, consider tracking that update. Note on the connector version Your stack trace references

google-cloud-bigquery-2.42.2.jar

, which matches the version referenced in other known issues. [deps bump] The dependency bump PR may address underlying library issues. The knowledge sources do not contain a specific documented fix for this exact timeout scenario, so if retrying and checking network connectivity don't resolve it, I'd recommend opening a GitHub issue on the Airbyte repository with your full logs. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
