Remove google-cloud-data-qna which has been replaced by Duet AI in Looker

[mfernandezsidn]

I can't find any documentation in the internet and I don't know how this functionality is used.

I want to connect the dataqna_v1alpha with my biquery project but I can't find the right way to do this. Any help?

This is the code I have so far which I have copied-pasted from this repository

`from google.cloud import dataqna_v1alpha

class DataQnA:
def init(self):
pass

def sample_create_question(self):
    # Create a client
    client = dataqna_v1alpha.QuestionServiceClient()

    # Initialize request argument(s)
    question = dataqna_v1alpha.Question()
    # question.scopes = ['scopes_value1', 'scopes_value2']
    question.query = "How does this work?"

    request = dataqna_v1alpha.CreateQuestionRequest(
        parent="parent_value",
        question=question,
    )

    # Make the request
    response = client.create_question(request=request)

    # Handle the response
    print(response)

test = DataQnA()
test.sample_create_question()`

Hi @mfernandezsidn,

An update was posted on the announcement for BigQuery DataQnA recommending to use Conversational Queries as part of Duet AI in Looker instead:

Update Nov 13, 2023: We introduced Conversational Queries as part of Duet AI in Looker at Cloud Next 2023, to continue our mission of providing a natural language interface to query business data. To learn more about Duet AI in Looker, please see our blog post.

Chat with your business data and design your future with a product built for it. Contact your Google Cloud representative to learn more.

I'm going to keep this issue open to track updating our documentation

Hi @parthea

Thanks for your response. There is no way to do the implementation with Python?

@mfernandezsidn,

The issue is not specific to the python library but rather the API. The BigQuery Data QnA API was not released as GA and it is now recommended to use Duet AI in Looker.
