Google VertexAI Embedder

Overview

Use this Snap to process the input and generate an embedding vector. The Snap generates the corresponding embedding for the output document, regardless of the batch size.


Google VertexAI Embedder Overview

Prerequisites

Supported models:

  • text-embedding-005
  • text-multilingual-embedding-002
  • text-embedding-large-exp-03-07

You need to have one of the following accounts configured for your Google VertexAI Snaps:

Limitations and known issues

None.

Snap views

View Description Examples of upstream and downstream Snaps
Input This Snap has at the most one document input view. The Snap requires the text to generate the embedding vector.
Output This Snap has at the most one document output view. The Snap provides the embedded vectors, and the original input document. Mapper
Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution Stops the current pipeline execution when an error occurs.
  • Discard Error Data and Continue Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
  • Route Error Data to Error View Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Snap settings

Legend:
  • Expression icon (): Allows using JavaScript syntax to access SnapLogic Expressions to set field values dynamically (if enabled). If disabled, you can provide a static value. Learn more.
  • SnapGPT (): Generates SnapLogic Expressions based on natural language using SnapGPT. Learn more.
  • Suggestion icon (): Populates a list of values dynamically based on your Snap configuration. You can select only one attribute at a time using the icon. Type into the field if it supports a comma-separated list of values.
  • Upload : Uploads files. Learn more.
Learn more about the icons in the Snap settings dialog.
Field / Field set Type Description
Label String

Required. Specify a unique name for the Snap. Modify this to be more appropriate, especially if more than one of the same Snaps is in the pipeline.

Default value: VertexAI Embedder

Example: RAG index

Model name String/Expression/ Suggestion

Required. The identifier for the Google Gemini embedding model.

Default value: N/A

Example: text-embedding-005
Model location String/Expression/ Suggestion

The location of the model.

Default value: N/A

Example: us-central1
Task type String/Expression/ Suggestion

The task type for the embedding.

Default value: RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT

Example:

QUESTION_ANSWERING

(Expression enabled) $taskType

Title String/Expression

The title of the document is used to improve the model's ability to generate better embeddings. This is relevant when working with RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT tasks

Default value: N/A

Example: “doc1”
Text to embed String/Expression

Required. The text that you want to generate embeddings for.

Default value: N/A

Example: "content"
Batch size Integer/Expression

Required. The number of documents batched per request. If running in Ultra mode, this must be set to 1.

Default value: 1

Example: 1
Model parameters

Parameters used to tune the model runtime.

Auto truncate Checkbox/Expression

If true, the text will be truncated to fit the model's maximum input length.

Default status: Deselected

Dimensions Integer/Expression

Specify the output embedding size. If set, the output embeddings will be truncated to the specified size.

Default value: N/A

Example: 10
Snap execution Dropdown list
Choose one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:
  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime.
  • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data.
  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Default value: Validate & Execute

Example: Execute only
