What does a Snowflake Architect need to consider when implementing a Snowflake Connector for Kafka?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The Snowflake Connector for Kafka is a Kafka Connect sink connector that reads data from one or more Apache Kafka topics and loads the data into a Snowflake table. The connector supports different authentication methods to connect to Snowflake, such as key pair authentication, OAUTH, and basic authentication (for example, username and password).The connector also supports different encryption methods, such as HTTPS and SSL1.The connector does not require that every Kafka message is in JSON or Avro format, as it can handle other formats such as CSV, XML, and Parquet2. The default retention time for Kafka topics is not relevant for the connector, as it only consumes the messages that are available in the topics and does not store them in Kafka.The connector will create one table and one pipe to ingest data for each topic by default, but this behavior can be customized by using the snowflake.topic2table.map configuration property3.If the connector cannot create the table or the pipe, it will log an error and retry the operation until it succeeds or the connector is stopped4.Reference:

B is incorrect. The default retention time for Kafka topics is forever, or until you delete them. 14 days is just the default setting, not a requirement.

Haha, none of these. The real answer is E) The Snowflake Architect needs to consider how many snowflakes they can fit on their sweater while implementing the connector.

I'd go with D. The connector creating a table and pipe for each topic makes sense, and handling exceptions is crucial for a robust integration.

Definitely C. The Snowflake Connector for Kafka needs to support various authentication methods to integrate with different Kafka environments.
