Thanks for your feedback, but I still don't have the insight Im trying ton<understand, sorry if it's on my side the way I expressed.
Horizon in Snowflake catalog.
BUT.. Recently Snowflake opened up a new REST ICEBERG API endpoint that that gives access to Snowflake Iceberg tables (it's comply to the standard iceberg rest api; similar to Unity Catalog REST ICEBERG API endpoint.
Snowflake SQL client drivers (JDBC, ODBC, etc) communicate with another Snowflake REST SQL API underneath.
Meaning one can refer to Snowflake Horizon as just 1 thing, but in fact theres 2 endpoints: JDBC via SQL REST API, and the new endpoint ICEBERG REST API.
I been trying to understand in the context of acessing Snowflake managed Iceberg tables, if Databricks already supported the recent Snowflake REST ICEBERG API or not?
The future is multi compute sharing Iceberg tables via the standsrd REST ICEBERG API that both Unit Catalog and Snowflake Horizon exposes. I know how Snowflake can federate READ/WRITE with vended credentials connecting to UC rest iceberg api.
So just trying understand if the other way also possible:
Can Databricks connect to Snowflake Horizon via Snowflake REST ICEBERG API. (not JDBC) ?
Hope this clarifies, because documentation referring to Snowflake Horizon, but doesn't share if physical API only JDBC, orif DBX already supports Snowflake Horizon acccess via new REST ICEBERG API endpoint.
Hope this helps, maybe Databricks needs update documentation, but for now just trying confirm if DBX can or not uses the advanced rest iceberg.
Thanks in advance ~
