BigQuery Destination V2 Connector - Raw data format still in fieldtype STRING instead of JSON

[krisjan-oldekamp]

Hi all,

I just tested out the new BigQuery V2 Destination (2.0.2) on Airbyte OSS (0.50.9). The documentation says that the new _airbyte_data column in the raw tables is expected to be in native JSON format (which is great!), instead of STRING:

However, in still seems to be in STRING format. Is this expected / not released yet in the current version?

Best,

Krisjan
