The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. Earnings Embeddings in Snowflake

-- PREVIEW / WORK IN PROGRESS: the VectorFin Snowflake path is not yet GA.
-- Mount VectorFin Iceberg catalog in Snowflake.
-- No EXTERNAL_VOLUME: the Polaris catalog vends short-lived, prefix-scoped
-- GCS credentials per read, so Snowflake needs no GCS grant of its own.
CREATE OR REPLACE ICEBERG TABLE HIG_embeddings
  CATALOG = 'vectorfin_polaris'
  CATALOG_NAMESPACE = 'vectorfin.embeddings'
  CATALOG_TABLE_NAME = 'transcripts';

-- Vector search over HIG earnings embeddings.
-- The Iceberg list<float> 'embedding' column surfaces as a Snowflake ARRAY;
-- cast it to VECTOR(FLOAT, 768) at query time (no Cortex license needed —
-- external embeddings are supported as-is).
--
-- Supply the query vector as a bracket-array literal: embed your query text
-- out-of-band with gemini-embedding-2-preview, task_type="retrieval_query",
-- output_dimensionality=768, then paste its 768 floats. Snowflake's AI_EMBED
-- can't produce Gemini vectors and VECTOR bind variables aren't supported, so
-- the literal is the only path.
-- CAVEAT: the query vector MUST use the same model (gemini-embedding-2-preview),
-- task_type="retrieval_query" (NOT retrieval_document — docs are stored that
-- way), and 768 dims, or cosine similarity is silently wrong.
