Question

Answer 1

I don't know if this is actual or not, but You can use BigQuery over JDBC too with RJDBC. Check this project for the BigQuery JDBC driver: https://code.google.com/p/starschema-bigquery-jdbc/

You can even use the Query Transformation Engine which converts the usual SQL92 queries into bigquery compatible. Hopefully it solves your problem.
