Oct 1, 2024Month: 2024-10 — Focused on stabilizing Iceberg-mode ingestion metadata to reduce downstream ingestion failures and improve data reliability. Implemented a critical bug fix in the snowflake-ingest-java connector for Iceberg mode, ensuring correct file identification metadata keys based on the feature flag. The change uses assignedFullFileName when Iceberg streaming is enabled and gracefully falls back to primaryFileId otherwise, aligning behavior with feature-flag governance and preventing misidentification in ingestion pipelines. Delivered a release-ready, well-tested change that enhances metadata correctness, reduces edge-case errors, and supports reliable Iceberg workflows.
