    You shouldn't need to use this method, but if you plan to

    :param method: The HTTP method name (ie, ``GET``, ``POST``, etc).

                         string of the URL.

                         Default is the standard API base URL.

    :type api_version: str
    :param api_version: The version of the API to call.  Typically
                        you shouldn't provide this and instead use
                        the default for the library.  Default is the

                        response as JSON and raise an exception if
                        that cannot be done.  Default is True.

        for the server response.

        Can also be passed as a tuple (connect_timeout, read_timeout).

Looks like this issue is flaky. 😟

I'm going to leave this open and stop commenting.

A human should fix and close this.

When run at the same commit (a63ea5d), this test passed in one build (Build Status, Sponge) and failed in another build (Build Status, Sponge).

Discussed offline. Datasets are strongly consistent within a region, but we aren't using regional endpoints to create the table, so likely occasionally get a stale read for if the dataset exists.

This is likely best solved by moving away from the table create/delete behavior (#118, #339). We can use server-side write disposition to handle the table creation step, and the location will be routed correctly with a load job. Schema modification is also supported during a load job via the schema update options in the job configuration.
