“Unexpected. Please try again” error when copying BigQuery table

Question

I'm trying to copy an existing table, and the job fails with error "Unexpected. Please try again" with no other information. I get the same result whether doing it in the web console or through the bq command line tool. Here is the the job id: arcx-prod:job_XVgg_YqvXZRTFucTJhhh8D-cWU8.

A few potentially related pieces of information:

1. copying succeeds for other tables in the same project
2. exporting data from this table also fails with the same error

Answer 1

This is a known issue in the latest BigQuery release. The problematic release has been rolled back, and we are in the process of fixing the metadata for all affected tables. Apologies for the errors!

Edit: All tables fixed as of November 19, 2014.

Answer 2

All tables should be working (as of late Nov 14); please let me know if you have any trouble.
