Snowflake v4 Sink connector available in early availability

Snowflake Kafka connector version 4.2.1 is now available in early availability for Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect. It uses the Snowpipe Streaming high-performance architecture.

The existing Snowflake Sink connector (3.x) remains available and isn't automatically upgraded to 4.x.

Version 4.x isn't backward compatible with 3.x. To migrate, review the migration requirements, create a new connector, and test the migration on a non-production service before moving production workloads.

For setup and migration instructions, see Create and configure a Snowflake sink connector. For upstream changes, see the Snowflake Kafka connector release notes.
