I am getting an “Unexpected” error. I tried a few times, and I still could not load the data. Is there any other way to load data?

Unexpected. Please try again.

I am using the file that can be found here:

bq load -F '^' --max_bad_record=30000 mycompany.abc bad.csv  id:STRING,ceid:STRING,ip:STRING,cb:STRING,country:STRING,telco_name:STRING,date_time:STRING,secondary:STRING,mn:STRING,sf:STRING,uuid:STRING,ua:STRING,brand:STRING,model:STRING,os:STRING,osversion:STRING,sh:STRING,sw:STRING,proxy:STRING,ah:STRING,callback:STRING

I am getting an error “BigQuery error in load operation: Unexpected. Please try again.”

The same file works from Ubuntu while it does not work from CentOS 5.4 (Final)
Does the OS encoding need to be checked?

    The file you uploaded has an unterminated quote. Can you delete that line and try again? I’ve filed an internal bigquery bug to be able to handle this case more gracefully.

    $grep '"' bad.csv
3000^0^1.202.218.8^2f1f1491^CN^others^2012-05-02 20:35:00^^^^^"Mozilla/5.0^generic web browser^^^^^^^^

    When I run a load from my workstation (Ubuntu), I get a warning about the line in question. Note that if you were using a larger file, you would not see this warning, instead you’d just get a failure.

    $bq show --format=prettyjson  -j job_e1d8636e225a4d5f81becf84019e7484
