Introduction

Data loading in Snowflake (https://docs.snowflake.net/manuals/user-guide/data-load-overview.html) is performed in two, separate steps. The first step is to load the files into a staging area, and the second step is to trigger the upload with a COPY INTO step. This action plugin will trigger the loading of data from a Snowflake staging area or s3 into snowflake.

Use case(s)

• As a financial services company, I would like to build an analytics pipeline to push data into the Snowflake. I would leverage Hydrator, and use this plugin as a sink to create files in the staging area. Finally, there would be an action plugin to trigger the loading of the data (this plugin).

User Storie(s)

• I would like to load data from the snowflake staging area into Snowflake.
• I would like to load data from s3 into snowflake
• I would like to provide IAM or keys for connecting to s3
