SNOW-1356922: Download data files directly from an internal stage to a stream using nodejs driver

[JonMoore46]

What is the current behavior?

When supplying a GET command, it doesn't appear to be possible to write the file to a stream, the file is just downloaded directly to the file system.

What is the desired behavior?

To be able to download the file returned from a GET command via a stream.

How would this improve snowflake-connector-nodejs?

It would provide feature parity with other drivers/SDKs and mean developers who are unable to download directly to the file system e.g due to organisational restrictions, can download to a stream and then in memory file storage.

This appears to be possible with the Java driver https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/jdbc/jdbc-using#label-jdbc-download-from-stage-to-stream so having feature parity would be great.

If this is possible somehow please feel free to let me know as it isn't 100% clear how to currently.

What is your Snowflake account identifier, if any?
