The templateSuffix option in Tabledata.insertAll is currently marked [Experimental], but should the template tables feature be supported for Beta/GA?
See #1635 for another issue related to table creation while streaming data.

I'm checking with the backend folks. I need to figure out how template tables interact with writing to partitions.
Template tables are a low priority feature. Not required for GA by the client libraries. They are mostly obsolete now that tables can be partitioned.
Closing, based on the comment above that this feature is now mostly obsolete.
