number of different types of errors you'll encounter, and depending on how
you use BigQuery, different ways to handle them.
HTTP Errors and Responses
All BigQuery API calls are HTTP requests; therefore in accordance with the
HTTP 1.1 spec, they all return HTTP status codes. Codes between 200 and
299 are “success” codes, but nearly all requests will return 200 on success.
The only other success code used by BigQuery is
204 No Content
, which
will be returned when deleting datasets or tables.
HTTP error codes are in the range 400-599. Unless there was some kind
of severe network error or badly malformed request, BigQuery returns a
standard JSON response on error, in addition to the raw status code, that
can be used to make sense of what went wrong.
Table 5.16
describes the field
of that error response.
