This question is like a bad dad joke - the punchline is in the metadata!

Wait, so they truncated the table after loading it with Snowpipe? That's like closing the barn door after the horse has already bolted. Option C is clearly the way to go, unless you want to spend the rest of your life waiting for metadata to expire.

Option D seems like overkill. Recreating the entire pipe just to reload a single file? That's a bit excessive, don't you think? I'd go with option B - modifying the file and re-staging it.

Option D does seem like a lot of work for just one file.

I'm not sure why the metadata is an issue here. Wouldn't option A be the easiest approach? Just wait for the metadata to expire and then reload the file. No need to complicate things.

User 3: Setting the FORCE=TRUE option in the Snowpipe command might be a quicker fix.

User 2: But what if we need to reload the table sooner? Maybe modifying the file could work.

I disagree, I believe option D is the way to go as recreating the pipe will ensure that the table can be reloaded without any issues.
