                         })

Response: This code snippet uses the Apache Beam BigQueryIO connector to read data from a BigQuery table.

The ReadBigQueryTableOptions interface defines the options that can be configured when running the pipeline. In this case, it specifies the BigQuery table to read from. The --tableName command-line argument sets the table name when running the pipeline. The @Description annotation provides a description of the option, while the @Default.String annotation sets a default value for the option.

     public interface ReadBigQueryTableOptions extends PipelineOptions {
         @Description("Table from which to read")
         @Default.String("bigquery-public-data:austin_bikeshare.bikeshare_stations")
         String getTableName();

         void setTableName(String value);
     }

In the main method, the PipelineOptionsFactory class creates a ReadBigQueryTableOptions object from the command-line arguments. The Pipeline.create method then creates a new pipeline with the specified options.

  ReadTableBQOptions options = PipelineOptionsFactory.fromArgs(args).withValidation().as(ReadBigQueryTableOptions.class);

  Pipeline p = Pipeline.create(options);

The (BigQueryIO.readTableRows().from(options.getTableName()) method reads data from the specified BigQuery table. The ParDo transform then applies a DoFn to each element of the input PCollection. In this case, the DoFn simply outputs the input element.

         p
                 .apply(BigQueryIO.readTableRows().from(options.getTableName()))
                 .apply(ParDo.of(new DoFn<TableRow, String>() {
                             @ProcessElement
                             public void processElement(ProcessContext c) {
                                 c.output(c.element().toString());
                             }
                         })
                 );

Finally, the run method executes the pipeline.

         p.run();
