NOT_SUPPORTED

NOT_SUPPORTED

Error message

This connector does not support creating vector indexes. The connector must provide a ConnectorPlanOptimizer to handle CREATE VECTOR INDEX.

What it means

NOT_SUPPORTED error from TableWriteInfo.createWriterTarget for CREATE VECTOR INDEX: the target catalog provides no ConnectorPlanOptimizer able to handle vector index creation, so the statement cannot be planned against this connector.

Solutions

1. Run CREATE VECTOR INDEX against a connector that implements vector index support
2. Implement a ConnectorPlanOptimizer in the connector to handle CREATE VECTOR INDEX
3. Use the connector's native indexing mechanism if one exists
