Question #: 190
Topic #: 1
You have a requirement to continuously load data from a cloud storage location into a Snowflake table. The source data is in Avro format and is being appended to the cloud storage location frequently. You want to automate this process using Snowpipe. You've already created the Snowpipe and the associated stage and file format. However, you notice that some files are being skipped during the ingestion process, and data is missing in your Snowflake table. What is the MOST likely reason for this issue, assuming all necessary permissions and configurations (stage, file format, pipe definition) are correctly set up?
Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
Option D is the most likely reason. Snowpipe relies on cloud storage event notifications (e.g., SQS for AWS S3, Event Grid for Azure Blob Storage, Pub/Sub for Google Cloud Storage) to trigger data ingestion. If these notifications are not properly configured, Snowpipe will not be notified of new files being added to the storage location, resulting in skipped files. Option A is possible, but less likely if the pipe was just created and initial data loading is failing. Option B is incorrect; Snowpipe detects files based on event notifications, not by continuously scanning the storage location. Option C could be an issue, but the question states the file format is defined. Option E is incorrect; Snowpipe does support Avro format.
