The error “Max LOB size (16777216) exceeded” indicates that the size of the parsed column exceeds the maximum size allowed for a single column value in Snowflake, which is 16 MB. To resolve this issue, the file should be split into multiple smaller files that are within the recommended size range of 100 MB to 250 MB. This will ensure that each JSON document within the files is smaller than the maximum LOB size allowed. Compressing the file, using a larger-sized warehouse, or setting STRIP_OUTER_ARRAY=TRUE will not resolve the issue of the column size exceeding the maximum allowed.
