Here's some useful updates and additional information on some of the items mentioned above regarding Snowflake:

- The concurrency limits mentioned above are soft limits that can be raised on customer request (those defaults are there so that runaway applications can be detected easily). Snowflake can handle very high concurrency--we have customers running hundreds of concurrent queries.

- We’ve recently released a new Spark connector with a bunch of optimizations, including additional push-down capabilities that speed up performance significantly.

- The clustering capability is currently in "preview", we're definitely taking input and have been working on incorporating feedback we've received so far into it.

- One important thing to note when it comes to full table scans is that Snowflake allows you to choose how much horsepower you apply to the job, so you can easily adjust the horsepower to get faster scans.
