SNOW-1344801: thin jar?

[paoliniluis]

Hi, I saw you created an experimental thin jar but there's nothing in the documentation about it. Can you send some information about the objective of it?

Hello @paoliniluis ,

Thanks for raising the question.
Since it's still experimental that's why no public documentation yet.

We have created a snowflake-jdbc-thin jar because snowflake-jdbc dependencies could be reused in the customer applications
e.g. snowflake ingest sdk share some of the libraries and when use thin jar then the final package will be smaller
creating a thin jar is a normal way of creating jars in the java ecosystem and maven/gradle should be used to fetch transitive dependencies for those who not using maven/gradle in their build but wants to only manually download the jar, then fat jar snowflake -jdbc should be used.

Hello @paoliniluis ,

@sfc-gh-sghosh it has been nearly a year now since the thin jar was released... do you know when it will progress beyond experimental?

I would like to begin using it but have some nervousness until it is supported. Please advise your roadmap for when the thin client will become GA and production ready? Thanks in advance.

Also, if you need me to get my account manager to request for this to be increased in priority then let me know and I will see if they can help promote it by notifying of customers who are asking for this to be supported. Thanks.
