‘Nice-to-have’ improvement, new feature or different behavior or design.
I'd like a test session that verifies that the client libraries can be installed via conda. The pandas community strongly encourages conda for installation, so it's important that our packages can be installed into a conda environment (even if it's with pip).
Conda is used to ensure shared C++ libraries such as libprotobuf don't need to be installed more than once (unlike wheels, which distribute their own copies). As a uniform build environment is required (for binary compatibility of compiled libraries), which is defined at https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock
Blocked by googleapis/python-bigquery-pandas#398, where I plan to test this for a single library first.
