03/15/2023, 2:47 PMcan anyone tell me why bigquery doesn’t support platform instances? is it just a product decision to block it or is there an actual technical issue behind this decision?

03/16/2023, 5:56 AM@astonishing-answer-96712 my question is this, the reason is ” BigQuery doesn’t need platform instances because project ids in BigQuery are globally unique.”
is it an arbitrary limitation in the code or is there actual logic that needs to be implemented in order to support it? e.g. assume I remove this limitation, will it just work?

03/20/2023, 8:07 AMHey Idan ! from what I see, this is an enforced limitation in the code. If its removed, the platform instances may work with bigquery. Minor code changes would be required to confirm it is used consistently everywhere (urns, dataPlatformInstance aspect etc).

03/20/2023, 8:10 AMMy question however is - for what particular reason, are you interested in supporting platform instances for bigquery ?

03/20/2023, 2:13 PM@hundreds-photographer-13496 I use platform instances to classify data as coming from a specific ingestion source to be able to reference this connection later

03/20/2023, 2:13 PMso I may have multiple ingestion sources for the same project id, that need different platform instances in order for this to worok

03/20/2023, 2:13 PMmaybe there’s a better way?

03/23/2023, 5:03 AMOh, this doesn't sound like to correct fit for platform instance. A bigquery project should and would belong to exactly one platform instance. From what I understand, you want to be able to identify what detail about project came from what ingestion source (recipe), right ?
