title: BigQuery load parquet error - incompatible types for field INT32 in Parquet vs. double in schema
body: <p>I am trying to load a list of parquet files into a BigQuery table, but I am getting an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>bq --location=EU load --source_format=PARQUET project:Input.k_2017_11_new "gs://my_bucket/2017_11/11/*.parquet"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Waiting on bqjob_r557b5eb5986df8a0_0000016855915d09_1 ... (34s) Current status: DONE   </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>BigQuery error in load operation: Error processing job
    'project:bqjob_r557b5eb5986df8a0_0000016855915d09_1': Error while
    reading data, error message: incompatible types for field
    'data.list.element.p': INT32 in Parquet vs. double in schema</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I actually do not need the field that is causing the error, but cannot find a way to skip this column.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a solution to this problem?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried specifying the schema with a json file, and forcing this field to FLOAT, or INT64, STRING, but nothing works so far.</p>
