                :func:`google.cloud.bigquery.table.TableReference.from_string`.

        Keyword Arguments:
            num_retries (Optional[int]): Number of upload retries.
            job_id (Optional[str]): Name of the job.
            job_id_prefix (Optional[str]):
                The user-provided prefix for a randomly generated
                job ID. This parameter will be ignored if a ``job_id`` is
                also given.
            location (str):
                Location where to run the job. Must match the location of the
                destination table.
            project (Optional[str]):
                Project ID of the project of where to run the job. Defaults
                to the client's project.
            job_config (Optional[google.cloud.bigquery.job.LoadJobConfig]):
                Extra configuration options for the job.

                To override the default pandas data type conversions, supply
                a value for
                :attr:`~google.cloud.bigquery.job.LoadJobConfig.schema` with
                column names matching those of the dataframe. The BigQuery
                schema is used to determine the correct data type conversion.
                Indexes are not loaded. Requires the :mod:`pyarrow` library.
            parquet_compression (str):
                 [Beta] The compression method to use if intermittently
                 serializing ``dataframe`` to a parquet file.

                 If ``pyarrow`` and job config schema are used, the argument
                 is directly passed as the ``compression`` argument to the
                 underlying ``pyarrow.parquet.write_table()`` method (the
                 default value "snappy" gets converted to uppercase).
                 https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.parquet.write_table.html#pyarrow-parquet-write-table

                 If either ``pyarrow`` or job config schema are missing, the
                 argument is directly passed as the ``compression`` argument
                 to the underlying ``DataFrame.to_parquet()`` method.
