API not respecting destination table #1786
Description
Following the example at https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-python/stable/bigquery-usage.html#querying-data-asynchronous the destination table does not appear to be respected
Reproduction steps and observed behavior:
QUERY = 'SELECT * FROM [dataset.babynames] where name = "Beth"'
dataset = client.dataset('dataset')
table = dataset.table(name='only_beth')
job = client.run_async_query('only_beth', QUERY)
job.destination_table = table
job.write_disposition = 'WRITE_EMPTY'
job.begin()
job.reload()
job.state
'DONE'Job has write_disposition: WRITE_TRUNCATE and destination table_id: "anon6f3505ba6efbcaaa685e4812bf5e132db2bb343a"
Expected behavior: Job should have created a new table called beth_only and set write disposition to WRITE_EMPTY
