+![Stability][stability-image]
+
+- [Product Documentation][product-docs]
+- [Client Library Documentation][javadocs]
+
+
+## Quickstart
+
+
+If you are using Maven, add this to your pom.xml file:
+
+
+
+```xml
+
+ com.google.cloud
+ google-cloud-bigquery-jdbc
+ 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT
+
+```
+
+If you are using Gradle without BOM, add this to your dependencies:
+
+```Groovy
+implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-bigquery-jdbc:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT'
+```
+
+If you are using SBT, add this to your dependencies:
+
+```Scala
+libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud" % "google-cloud-bigquery-jdbc" % "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
+```
+
+
+## Authentication
+
+See the [Authentication][authentication] section in the base directory's README.
+
+## Authorization
+
+The client application making API calls must be granted [authorization scopes][auth-scopes] required for the desired BigQuery JDBC APIs, and the authenticated principal must have the [IAM role(s)][predefined-iam-roles] required to access GCP resources using the BigQuery JDBC API calls.
+
+## Developer Guide
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+You need to have either Java with Maven installed or Docker. You might want to install [`Make`](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) to simplify running commands, otherwise please look into Makefile to check for specific configurations.
+
+### Setup
+
+`make install` primarily relies on `mvn install` command. All following commands are primarily applicable for the `google-cloud-bigquery-jdbc` project.
+
+`bigquery-external-jdbc-tests` at this moment is indepdnent and has its own configuration.
+
+### Running tests
+
+#### Unittests
+
+Run all unittests
+
+`make unittest`
+
+Run specific unittests
+
+`make unittest test=`
+
+Please reference [Maven documentation](https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/single-test.html) for details about ``
+
+Example: `make unittest test=BigQueryArrowStructTest`
+
+#### Integration tests
+
+IMPORTANT: Running integration tests will skip unit tests. Primary focus of this command is to run specific set of tests without a lot of overhead.
+
+Majority of Integration tests rely on certain environment variables:
+
+```
+# Default gcloud auth setup
+export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=
+
+# Test specfic envs
+export SA_EMAIL=email@email.com
+export SA_SECRET=
+# Alternatively it can be json content:
+export SA_SECRET=`cat `
+```
+
+Run all integration tests (currently takes 15+ minutes, so this is discouraged).
+
+`make integration-test`
+
+Run specific integration test
+
+`make integration-test test=`
+
+Please reference [Maven documentation](https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/single-test.html) for details about ``
+
+Example: `make unittest test=ITBigQueryJDBCTest#testValidServiceAccountAuthenticationOAuthPvtKey`
+
+### Dockerized environment
+
+If you don't have Java or Maven, or if you want to test changes with a different Java version, you can leverage dockerized environment.
+
+One-time run commands are similar to local development make commands:
+
+```
+make docker-build
+make docker-unittest
+make docker-integration-test
+```
+
+Please note that running unit or integration tests within docker doesn't leverage maven cache because it is not persisted.
+If you want to run multiple commands, you can start a session and treat this shell session as your local environment.
+
+```
+make docker-session
+```
+
+All Docker commands rely only on `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` env being present, it will create rest of env vars as needed.
+
+### Packaging
+
+There are two ways to package Google JDBC Driver: thin jar and jar with all dependencies.
+
+#### Thin jar
+
+Thin jar can be generated by running `make docker-package`. It generates jar and list of dependencies in format compatible with copying into `pom.xml` file.
+
+#### All dependencies
+
+Jar with all dependencies can be generated by running `make docker-package-all-dependencies`. Produced jar includes all depenencies and can be used as a standalon jar with tools like R-Studio.
+
+### Custom query tests
+
+Thin client using JDBC driver can be found in 'bigquery-jdbc-test-client' folder. It allows you to run custom queries with custom connection string ot generate logs or measure performance.
+
+It can be built for Google JDBC drivers or any other JDBC drivers. For other JDBC drivers, you need to specify a version and it will download it.
+
+#### Google test
+
+For Google, you need to build an uber jar following previous steps. When it is ready, you can use these
+sample commands to run it:
+
+```
+cd bigquery-jdbc-test-client
+make docker-package-for-validation JDBC_JAR_PATH=
+make run QUERY=small
+```
+
+### Night builds
+
+Nightly build is running full set of Integration tests and extended Nightly tests that includes some long-running tests (takes 20+ minutes to complete).
+
+Nightly Integration Tests include a step to build a full and thin jars and upload them to Google Storage.
+
+They can be retrieved via following commands:
+
+```
+gsutil cp gs://bq_devtools_release_private/drivers/jdbc/google-cloud-bigquery-jdbc-latest-full.jar .
+gsutil cp gs://bq_devtools_release_private/drivers/jdbc/google-cloud-bigquery-jdbc-latest.zip .
+```
+
+#### Performance tests
+
+Cloud Build Pipeline is uploading latest full jar to the internal location for perf tests once a week, at the moment scheduled to do this Sunday night.
+
+### Code Coverage
+
+We're using [JaCoCo](https://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/) to track Code Coverage. `Makefile` has 2 separate set of commands for unittests and integration tests reports.
+
+You can run `make docker-coverage` and it will produce both results, you can find `jacoco-(unittest|full).zip` file in the root with results.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+You will need a [Google Cloud Platform Console][developer-console] project with the BigQuery JDBC [API enabled][enable-api].
+
+[Follow these instructions][create-project] to get your project set up. You will also need to set up the local development environment by
+[installing the Google Cloud Command Line Interface][cloud-cli] and running the following commands in command line:
+`gcloud auth login` and `gcloud config set project [YOUR PROJECT ID]`.
+
+### Installation and setup
+
+You'll need to obtain the `google-cloud-bigquery-jdbc` library. See the [Quickstart](#quickstart) section
+to add `google-cloud-bigquery-jdbc` as a dependency in your code.
+
+## About BigQuery JDBC
+
+
+[BigQuery JDBC][product-docs]
+
+See the [BigQuery JDBC client library docs][javadocs] to learn how to
+use this BigQuery JDBC Client Library.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+To get help, follow the instructions in the [shared Troubleshooting document][troubleshooting].
+
+## Supported Java Versions
+
+Java 8 or above is required for using this client.
+
+Google's Java client libraries,
+[Google Cloud Client Libraries][cloudlibs]
+and
+[Google Cloud API Libraries][apilibs],
+follow the
+[Oracle Java SE support roadmap][oracle]
+(see the Oracle Java SE Product Releases section).
+
+### For new development
+
+In general, new feature development occurs with support for the lowest Java
+LTS version covered by Oracle's Premier Support (which typically lasts 5 years
+from initial General Availability). If the minimum required JVM for a given
+library is changed, it is accompanied by a [semver][semver] major release.
+
+Java 11 and (in September 2021) Java 17 are the best choices for new
+development.
+
+### Keeping production systems current
+
+Google tests its client libraries with all current LTS versions covered by
+Oracle's Extended Support (which typically lasts 8 years from initial
+General Availability).
+
+#### Legacy support
+
+Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Java runtimes with long
+term stable libraries that don't receive feature updates on a best efforts basis
+as it may not be possible to backport all patches.
+
+Google provides updates on a best efforts basis to apps that continue to use
+Java 7, though apps might need to upgrade to current versions of the library
+that supports their JVM.
+
+#### Where to find specific information
+
+The latest versions and the supported Java versions are identified on
+the individual GitHub repository `github.com/GoogleAPIs/java-SERVICENAME`
+and on [google-cloud-java][g-c-j].
