Zepl, the data science platform built for your cloud data warehouse, announced that it has deepened its technical integration with Snowflake by utilizing Snowflake’s 2.6 Spark Connector in Zepl’s SaaS product. This new integration dramatically improves performance when accessing data for analysis and minimizes costs.
According to Snowflake’s recent benchmark tests, Snowflake’s 2.6 Spark Connection caused an immediate 4x improvement in the end-to-end performance of Spark jobs due to a 10x performance improvement in the time spent by the Spark Connector to fetch and process the results of the Snowflake query. In addition, Snowflake has a query-result cache for repeated queries that operate on unchanged data. With cached reads, the end-to-end performance for the Spark job described above is 14x faster than when using uncached CSV-format reads in previous versions of the Spark Connector.
