MDI is failing in the discovery stage due to a token expiration issue for a large number of schemas.

When an MDI job is running against Google Big Query it processes each schema to discover all of the tables. If the number of tables in the GBQ instance is large enough that the processing of each schema takes long enough that the connection token expires, the Google Big Query SDK is requested to renew the access token. This token renewal fails within the Google SDK logic and thus the connection is refused and the MDI job stops.

Given the above, we can confirm this problem is limited to Big Query connections that have a large number of schemas and content such that it requires token renewal.

*Increase the timeout of GBQ connections - which was denied by VZ security

Expectation is IBM to investigate possible fixes to Google's SDK; Attempt to build in added resiliency in IBM logic to recover from SDK failure to renew token; Improve logs to more readily identify this problem for ease of diagnosing the problem in the future.

    Hi Daniel, Is there a tentative version where this enhancement could be consider?
