You are refactoring a Cloud Composer DAG that uses BigQueryOperator to run a 50-TB aggregation query every night. When the DAG occasionally back-fills, the task starts immediately and consumes many on-demand slots during daytime business hours. You want the same SQL to run only when idle slots are available so that it does not count toward the project's concurrent interactive-query limit. Which BigQueryOperator argument and value should you configure to meet this requirement?
Set the operator's priority argument to "INTERACTIVE".
BigQuery treats queries with the priority flag set to BATCH as background work. A batch job is queued and executed after interactive workloads have available capacity, so it neither pre-empts production queries nor counts toward concurrent interactive-query quotas. All other listed parameters control write semantics (write_disposition), job location, or billing limits and do not influence when BigQuery schedules the query.
