nit: I wonder if we can use retry.Retry?
from google.api_core import retry
api_retry_strategy = retry.Retry(
predicate=retry.if_exception_type(
InternalServerError,
ServiceUnavailable,
TooManyRequests
),
initial=2.0, # Seconds to wait before the first retry
multiplier=2.0, # Exponential backoff multiplier
maximum=10.0, # Maximum delay between retries
timeout=60.0 # Stop retrying after this many total seconds
)
job.result(retry=api_retry_strategy)

Summary
This PR addresses transient BigQuery rate limit errors (specifically
429 TooManyRequests: too many table update operations) that occur when running large evaluation datasets or executing multiple evaluations concurrently.It implements two main changes in
BigQueryReporter:chunk_sizeparameter in the reporter config (defaulting to 500). Increasing the chunk size reduces the number of load jobs (table updates) generated per run.TooManyRequests(429) andServiceUnavailable(503) errors, preventing temporary rate-limit spikes from failing the entire evaluation.Changes
