Takes too long to export data from bigquery into Jupyter notebook












4














In the Jupyter Notebook, I am trying to import data from BigQuery using an sql-like query on the BigQuery server. I then store the data in a dataframe:



import os
os.environ["GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS"]="credentials.json"
from google.cloud import bigquery

sql = """
SELECT * FROM dataset.table
"""
client = bigquery.Client()
df_bq = client.query(sql).to_dataframe()


The data has the shape (6000000, 8) and uses about 350MB of memory once stored in the dataframe.



The query sql, if executed directly in BQ, takes about 2 seconds.



However, it usually takes about 30-40 minutes to execute the code above, and more often than not the code fails to execute raising the following error:



ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', OSError("(10060, 'WSAETIMEDOUT')",))


All in all, there could be three reasons for the error:




  1. It takes the BigQuery server a long time to execute the query

  2. It takes a long time to transfer data (I don't understand why a 350MB file should take 30min to be sent over the network. I tried using a LAN connection to eliminate server cuts and maximize throughput, which didn't help)

  3. It takes a long time to set a dataframe with the data from BigQuery


Would be happy to gain any insight into the problem, thanks in advance!

  • 40 mins seems a lot indeed...maybe it's the http transport layer. I wonder if you can make two tests: first, what happens if you set a limit to 10000 rows for instance in your query? Is it still slow? Also, can you test first exporting this data to GCS gizzed and then bring it to host to finally read as dataframe, is it still slow?
