What does a Snowflake Architect need to consider when implementing a Snowflake Connector for Kafka?

Every Kafka message is in JSON or Avro format.

The default retention time for Kafka topics is 14 days.

The Kafka connector supports key pair authentication, OAUTH. and basic authentication (for example, username and password).

The Kafka connector will create one table and one pipe to ingest data for each topic. If the connector cannot create the table or the pipe it will result in an exception.
