The Java client library is missing the maximumBillingTier from the BigQuery rest API. There's no way in the SDK to set it on a per-query level for a query job configuration.

See here --> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43647678/where-is-the-option-to-set-the-bigquery-maximum-billing-tier-in-the-new-java-sdk

And here --> https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/jobs#configuration.query.maximumBillingTier

It's available in the Python SDK, but not in the Java one. We need to be able to set this at a query level - we do not want to set it project wide.

The only workaround I see to this, is rolling back to the old version of the Java libs (the old version does expose/provide it), which is obviously a massive headache for us.
