Since Snowflake uses the Iceberg format for it's tables. this is essentially Parquet files with a different metadata store.


Thus, it would be really nice to have a Fabric use the newly released Delta 3.0 format which allows the read and write of Apache Hudi, Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg formats into one system. Adding Delta 3.0 would provide abilities to read tables of data directly from snowflake as shortcuts. this would make it super handy for organizations who already have snowflake.
