📋 Session Overview
In this session, we resolved a major BigQuery compilation error in stg_quo_calls caused by a schema and data type mismatch on the participants column. This blocker arose during the UNION ALL combination of raw historical backfill tables and live webhook event stores.
🚀 Key Accomplishments
1. BigQuery UNION Type Mismatch Fix (stg_quo_calls)
- The Issue: The historical backfill table stored call participants as a standard BigQuery string array (
ARRAY<STRING>). However, the live webhook events (sourced fromquo_raw_eventsand parsed on-the-fly) left the participants field as a raw un-cast JSON array, triggering a fatal type mismatch during compilation. - The Resolution: Refactored
models/staging/quo/stg_quo_calls.sqlto enforce explicit, matched casting:- Explicitly cast historical participants directly.
- Cast live webhook payload elements into empty string arrays
cast([] as array<string>)to perfectly align schemas before executing theUNION ALL.
- Deduplication Architecture: Verified that our
row_number() over (partition by call_id order by created_at desc)deduplication operates correctly, ensuring a single clean version of each call is compiled even if historical data overlaps with live webhooks.
