Description

BigQuery recently added support for updating the schema as a side effect of the load job.

Here is the relevant API method in JobConfigurationLoad: https://developers.google.com/resources/api-libraries/documentation/bigquery/v2/java/latest/com/google/api/services/bigquery/model/JobConfigurationLoad.html#setSchemaUpdateOptions(java.util.List)

BigQueryIO should support this too. See user request for this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40333245/is-it-possible-to-update-schema-while-doing-a-load-into-an-existing-bigquery-tab
