Snowflake - Build and Architect Data Pipelines Using AWS - What Is Pushdown in UDF?

The video tutorial explains the concept of pushdown in data processing, particularly in Snowflake. It describes two methods of query execution: 'load first, filter later' and 'early filtering', with the latter being more efficient. Pushdown improves query performance by filtering data early, reducing memory usage. However, it may expose confidential data if not managed properly. Snowflake automatically optimizes pushdown execution using its query planner.

What is the main concept of pushdown in data processing tools?

• Loading all data into memory before filtering

• Filtering data as early as possible

• Storing data in external databases

• Executing queries without any filtering

Which method involves reading all rows into memory before filtering?

• Load first, filter later

• Query optimization

• Early filtering

• Data transformation

How does Snowflake handle pushdown execution by default?

• It only applies pushdown to specific queries

• It requires manual configuration

• It uses a query planner to optimize execution

• It ignores pushdown execution

What is a key benefit of using pushdown in query execution?

• Increased data storage

• Improved query performance

• Slower data processing

• Higher memory consumption

What is a potential risk associated with pushdown execution?

• Decreased query accuracy

• Exposure of confidential data

• Increased data redundancy

• Higher computational costs
