Snowflake AI Data Cloud Features & Architecture

A Snowflake Practitioner must design a data lakehouse architecture that requires:

  1. Support for ACID transactions to maintain data consistency
  2. The ability to evolve schemas over time without rewriting existing data
  3. Efficient query capabilities for large datasets

Which table type satisfies these requirements?

Explanation

Apache Iceberg tables support ACID transactions and schema evolution through the Iceberg table format. In Snowflake, they also combine Snowflake table performance and query semantics with data held in cloud storage, making them suitable for efficient querying in a lakehouse architecture.
