Creates a batch task to export a FeatureCollection to BigQuery. Tasks can be started from the Tasks tab.
Note that this feature is in Preview, and the API and behavior may change significantly. For more information, see https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/guides/export_to_bigquery
A human-readable name of the task. Defaults to "myExportTableTask".
table
String, optional
The fully-qualifed BigQuery destination table in the following format: "project_id.dataset_id.table_id".
overwrite
Boolean, optional
Whether the existing table should be overwritten by the result of this export. Defaults to false. The `overwrite` and `append` parameters cannot be `true` simultaneously. The export fails if the table already exists and both `overwrite` and
`append` are `false`.
append
Boolean, optional
Whether table data should be appended if the table already exists and has a compatible schema. Defaults to false. The `overwrite` and `append` parameters cannot be `true` simultaneously. The export fails if the table already exists and both `overwrite` and
`append` are `false`.
selectors
List<String>|String, optional
A list of properties to include in the export; either a single string with comma-separated names or a list of strings.
maxVertices
Number, optional
Max number of uncut vertices per geometry; geometries with more vertices will be cut into pieces smaller than this size.
priority
Number, optional
The priority of the task within the project. Higher priority tasks are scheduled sooner. Must be an integer between 0 and 9999. Defaults to 100.
