What this PR does / why we need it:

GetSnowflakeConnection was wrapping role, warehouse, database, and schema_ in literal double quotes before passing them to snowflake.connector.connect(...):

for k, v in kwargs.items():
    if k in ["role", "warehouse", "database", "schema_"]:
        kwargs[k] = f'"{v}"'

That code was based on a misunderstanding of how the connector handles these kwargs. Tracing the connector source confirms they never reach a SQL USE WAREHOUSE statement - they go through a different path entirely:

  • snowflake/connector/auth/_auth.py:244-254 packs them into URL query parameters (databaseName, schemaName, warehouse, roleName) for the login REST endpoint, via urlencode(...).
  • snowflake/connector/connection.py:1684 stores them verbatim on the connection object.
  • connection.py:1940-1946 reads the server-resolved finalWarehouseName / finalDatabaseName / ... back from the login response.

There is no client-side SQL parsing or identifier folding. So feast's f'"{v}"' wrapping caused the connector to send a percent-encoded %22MY_WH%22 to the login endpoint, where the server tried to match a warehouse literally named "MY_WH" (with quote characters) and failed. The official Python connector docs accordingly show all four parameters as plain unquoted strings.

Removing the wrapping lets the documented contract hold: users put the warehouse/role/database/schema name in their feature_store.yaml exactly as Snowflake stores it, and the connector forwards it unmodified.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Re-fixes the bug originally reported in #2595 ("Snowflake has connection issues") and previously attempted in #2601 ("fix: Remove extra quoting in snowflake python connection"). PR #2601 was closed in 2022 because the author couldn't reproduce after resetting their environment, and the maintainer's defense at the time - that Snowflake uses quoted-identifier syntax - was conflating SQL identifier rules with REST login-parameter handling. The connector source above shows those are entirely separate paths.
