Snowpipe is Snowflake’s continuous data ingestion service. Snowpipe loads data from files as soon as they are available in a staging area based on the COPY statement defined in a referenced pipe. The COPY statement identifies the source location (e.g. AWS S3 Bucket) of the data files and a target table to be used by Snowpipe to load data into Snowflake table. Below mechanisms are available for detecting and loading the staged files: Automating Continuous Data Loading Using Cloud Messaging Calling Snowpipe REST Endpoints to Load Data Automating Continuous Data Loading Using Cloud Messaging – Automated data loads uses event notifications (e.g. AWS SQS) for cloud storage to inform Snowpipe of the arrival of new data files to load. Snowpipe then copies the files into a queue, from which they are loaded into the target table in a continuous, serverless fashion based on parameters defined in the pipe.Calling Snowpipe REST Endpoints to Load Data – Your client application calls a public REST endpoint with a list of data filenames and a referenced pipe name. If new data files matching the list are discovered in the stage, they are queued for loading. Snowflake-provided compute resources load data from the queue into […]
