SNOWFLAKE_11 - Could not create SQL DataSource due to network issues

Troubleshooting


Problem

Networking issues between the client (the Snowflake stage) and the server (the Snowflake endpoint).

The HTTP response HTTP status=504 means Gateway Timeout trying to connect Snowflake. This issue usually happens when the SDC engine has a proxy configured.

Symptom

Running a job with a Snowflake stage in an SDC engine, the job can run successfully many executions but in one execution the following error arises:

SNOWFLAKE_11 - Could not create SQL DataSource: com.zaxxer.hikari.pool.HikariPool$PoolInitializationException: Failed to initialize pool: JDBC driver encountered communication error. Message: HTTP status=504

Reviewing the sdc.log, you can see connection issues trying to reach Snowflake, the petition POST https://youraccount.privatelink.snowflakecomputing.com:443/session/v1/ gets a response 504.

Resolving The Problem

This issue can happen because of a networking problem or a high latency in the transmission of data packets between the SDC engine and the Snowflake endpoint.

Increase the Snowflake parameter login timeout in the configuration of the Snowflake stage:

  • Go to the Snowflake Connection Info tab.

  • In the Connection Properties field set the key loginTimeout and a value in seconds. For example: 120.
