Exam SnowPro Advanced Data Engineer topic 1 question 30 discussion

The three Snowflake objects created automatically when the Snowflake Kafka connector starts are: Tables (A): The connector creates tables to store the actual data ingested from Kafka. These tables can be used to query and analyze the data. Pipes (C): Pipes are automatically created to move data from the staging area (staging table) to the final destination tables in Snowflake. Pipes are part of Snowflake's data loading mechanism. Internal stages (D): The connector may create internal stages to facilitate the movement of data between the Kafka topics and the staging tables or final destination tables in Snowflake. Therefore, the correct choices are A (Tables), C (Pipes), and D (Internal stages).

Kafka topics can be mapped to existing Snowflake tables in the Kafka configuration. If the topics are not mapped, then the Kafka connector creates a new table for each topic using the topic name. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/kafka-connector-overview#:~:text=Kafka%20topics%20can%20be%20mapped%20to%20existing%20Snowflake%20tables%20in%20the%20Kafka%20configuration.%20If%20the%20topics%20are%20not%20mapped%2C%20then%20the%20Kafka%20connector%20creates%20a%20new%20table%20for%20each%20topic%20using%20the%20topic%20name.
