With typical Snowflake Connector we cannot omit the Snowflake Warehouse which adds to the cost of the whole operation, whereas when we're using Snowpipe Streaming we can omit the Warehouse and reduce the cost: snowpipe-streaming-cost .
The use case that we're trying to solve is loading data from Kafka into Snowflake using Databricks, we could use the Databricks Snowflake Connector but only if it's able to use Snowpipe Streaming underneath.
