in bigquery API i see four options mode,uriprefix,requirepartitionfilter & fields.. but in java client i just see two options(first 2).. not sure if this was intentional..

https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/tables#hivepartitioningoptions

enabling requirepartition filter out side of hivepartitionoptions throws out error ---> Caused by: com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 400 Bad Request
