Snowflake(@Snowflake):Querying JSON in open lakehouse tables means parsing everything at runtime — no predicate pushdown, no skipping. Iceberg v3 Variant flips that by: ✦ Shredding nested data into typed columns at write time ✦ Enabling predicate pushdown at the column level Result: In an 11-query benchmark on identical Iceberg tables, Snowflake was 2.3x faster at equivalent compute.
