What is the exact naming format for a Snowflake Kafka connector pipe?

• A. SNOWFLAKE_KAFKA_CONNECTOR_<connector_name>_PIPE_<table_name>_<partition_number>
• B. SNOWFLAKE_KAFKA_CONNECTOR_<connector>_PIPE_<table>_<partition>
• C. KAFKA_CONNECTOR_<connector_name>_PIPE_<table_name>_<partition_number>
• D. SNOWFLAKE_KAFKA_<connector_name>_PIPE_<table>_<partition_number>

Answer: (A)

Naming a Snowflake Kafka connector pipe uses a consistent pattern that encodes which connector is producing the data, which Snowflake table receives it, and which Kafka partition is involved. The exact format is SNOWFLAKE_KAFKA_CONNECTOR_PIPE_. The fixed prefix signals this pipe is for Snowflake’s Kafka integration, the connector_name identifies the specific connector, PIPE separates the identifier from the destination, the table_name is where the data goes, and the numeric partition_number specifies which Kafka partition is being ingested. This precise structure makes the pipe uniquely identifiable and easy to manage in automation.

Other patterns miss parts of the required structure—such as omitting the fixed prefix, altering the connector portion, or using a nonnumeric or differently named partition segment—which would not match the actual pipe naming convention Snowflake expects.
