+Snowflake steps and tasks for Koheesio
+
+Every class in this module is a subclass of `Step` or `Task` and is used to perform operations on Snowflake.
+
+Notes
+-----
+Every Step in this module is based on [SnowflakeBaseModel](./snowflake.md#koheesio.spark.snowflake.SnowflakeBaseModel).
+The following parameters are available for every Step.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+url : str
+    Hostname for the Snowflake account, e.g. <account>.snowflakecomputing.com.
+    Alias for `sfURL`.
+user : str
+    Login name for the Snowflake user.
+    Alias for `sfUser`.
+password : SecretStr
+    Password for the Snowflake user.
+    Alias for `sfPassword`.
+database : str
+    The database to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `sfDatabase`.
+sfSchema : str
+    The schema to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `schema` ("schema" is a reserved name in Pydantic, so we use `sfSchema` as main name instead).
+role : str
+    The default security role to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `sfRole`.
+warehouse : str
+    The default virtual warehouse to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `sfWarehouse`.
+authenticator : Optional[str], optional, default=None
+    Authenticator for the Snowflake user. Example: "okta.com".
+options : Optional[Dict[str, Any]], optional, default={"sfCompress": "on", "continue_on_error": "off"}
+    Extra options to pass to the Snowflake connector.
+format : str, optional, default="snowflake"
+    The default `snowflake` format can be used natively in Databricks, use `net.snowflake.spark.snowflake` in other
+    environments and make sure to install required JARs.

+
+    Meaning, you can set the `database`, `schema` and `object` separately and the object name will be set to be fully

+    other set of pre-actions to be applied to a query, in that case existing pre-action aren't dropped, query tag
+    pre-action will be added to them.
+
+    Passed Snowflake options dictionary is not modified in-place, instead anew dictionary containing updated pre-actions

+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    See this article for explanation: https://select.dev/posts/snowflake-query-tags
+
+    Arbitrary tags can be applied, such as team, dataset names, business capability, etc.
+
+    Example
+    -------
+    #### Using `options` parameter
+    ```python
+    query_tag = AddQueryTag(
+        options={"preactions": "ALTER SESSION"},
+        task_name="cleanse_task",

+        ),
+    ).execute().options
+    ```
+    In this example, the query tag pre-action will be added to the Snowflake options.
+
+    #### Using `preactions` parameter
+    Instead of using `options` parameter, you can also use `preactions` parameter to provide existing preactions.
+    ```python
+    query_tag = AddQueryTag(
+        preactions="ALTER SESSION"
+        ...
+    ).execute().options
+    ```
+
+    The result will be the same as in the previous example.
+
+    #### Using `get_options` method
+    The shorthand method `get_options` can be used to get the options dictionary.
+    ```python
+    query_tag = AddQueryTag(...).get_options()
+    ```

+-----
+Every Step in this module is based on [SnowflakeBaseModel](./snowflake.md#koheesio.spark.snowflake.SnowflakeBaseModel).
+The following parameters are available for every Step.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+url : str
+    Hostname for the Snowflake account, e.g. <account>.snowflakecomputing.com.
+    Alias for `sfURL`.
+user : str
+    Login name for the Snowflake user.

-    This class is a subclass of `GrantPrivilegesOnObject` and is used to grant privileges on a fully qualified object.
-    The advantage of using this class is that it sets the object name to be fully qualified, i.e.
-    `database.schema.object_name`.
-
-    Meaning, you can set the `database`, `schema` and `object` separately and the object name will be set to be fully
-    qualified, i.e. `database.schema.object_name`.

-        object="MY_TABLE",
-        type="TABLE",
-        ...
-    )
-    ```
-
-    In this example, the object name will be set to be fully qualified, i.e. `MY_DB.MY_SCHEMA.MY_TABLE`.
-    If you were to use `GrantPrivilegesOnObject` instead, you would have to set the object name to be fully qualified

-Snowflake steps and tasks for Koheesio
-
-Every class in this module is a subclass of `Step` or `Task` and is used to perform operations on Snowflake.
-
-Notes
------
-Every Step in this module is based on [SnowflakeBaseModel](./snowflake.md#koheesio.spark.snowflake.SnowflakeBaseModel).
-The following parameters are available for every Step.
-
-Parameters
-----------
-url : str
-    Hostname for the Snowflake account, e.g. <account>.snowflakecomputing.com.
-    Alias for `sfURL`.
-user : str
-    Login name for the Snowflake user.
-    Alias for `sfUser`.
-password : SecretStr
-    Password for the Snowflake user.
-    Alias for `sfPassword`.
-database : str
-    The database to use for the session after connecting.
-    Alias for `sfDatabase`.
-sfSchema : str
-    The schema to use for the session after connecting.
-    Alias for `schema` ("schema" is a reserved name in Pydantic, so we use `sfSchema` as main name instead).
-role : str
-    The default security role to use for the session after connecting.
-    Alias for `sfRole`.
-warehouse : str
-    The default virtual warehouse to use for the session after connecting.
-    Alias for `sfWarehouse`.
-authenticator : Optional[str], optional, default=None
-    Authenticator for the Snowflake user. Example: "okta.com".
-options : Optional[Dict[str, Any]], optional, default={"sfCompress": "on", "continue_on_error": "off"}
-    Extra options to pass to the Snowflake connector.
-format : str, optional, default="snowflake"
-    The default `snowflake` format can be used natively in Databricks, use `net.snowflake.spark.snowflake` in other
-    environments and make sure to install required JARs.

-    -----
-    See this article for explanation: https://select.dev/posts/snowflake-query-tags
-
-    Arbitrary tags can be applied, such as team, dataset names, business capability, etc.
-
-    Example
-    -------
-    #### Using `options` parameter
-    ```python

-    In this example, the query tag pre-action will be added to the Snowflake options.

-    Instead of using `options` parameter, you can also use `preactions` parameter to provide existing preactions.

-Snowflake steps and tasks for Koheesio
-
-Every class in this module is a subclass of `Step` or `Task` and is used to perform operations on Snowflake.
-
-Notes
------
-Every Step in this module is based on [SnowflakeBaseModel](./snowflake.md#koheesio.spark.snowflake.SnowflakeBaseModel).
-The following parameters are available for every Step.
-
-Parameters
-----------
-url : str
-    Hostname for the Snowflake account, e.g. <account>.snowflakecomputing.com.
-    Alias for `sfURL`.
-user : str
-    Login name for the Snowflake user.
-    Alias for `sfUser`.
-password : SecretStr
-    Password for the Snowflake user.
-    Alias for `sfPassword`.
-database : str
-    The database to use for the session after connecting.
-    Alias for `sfDatabase`.
-sfSchema : str
-    The schema to use for the session after connecting.
-    Alias for `schema` ("schema" is a reserved name in Pydantic, so we use `sfSchema` as main name instead).
-role : str
-    The default security role to use for the session after connecting.
-    Alias for `sfRole`.
-warehouse : str
-    The default virtual warehouse to use for the session after connecting.
-    Alias for `sfWarehouse`.
-authenticator : Optional[str], optional, default=None
-    Authenticator for the Snowflake user. Example: "okta.com".
-options : Optional[Dict[str, Any]], optional, default={"sfCompress": "on", "continue_on_error": "off"}
-    Extra options to pass to the Snowflake connector.
-format : str, optional, default="snowflake"
-    The default `snowflake` format can be used natively in Databricks, use `net.snowflake.spark.snowflake` in other
-    environments and make sure to install required JARs.

Subject: [PATCH 54/77] 33 part 2 making snowflake work with connect (#84)

Snowflake integrations is extensively reworked to be able to support
Spark Connect.

Highlights:
- Original spark module has been split across respective spark and
python modules (original modules retain the API through imports)
- new package: src/koheesio/integrations/snowflake
- new module: src/koheesio/integrations/snowflake/test_utils
- new module: src/koheesio/integrations/spark/snowflake

Detailed changes
----------------
File: src/koheesio/integrations/snowflake.py
- Now a package (code moved to __init__.py)
- Fixed links in module docs

File: src/koheesio/integrations/spark/snowflake.py
- TagSnowflakeQuery, and map_spark_type added to __all__
- breaking API changes for CreateOrReplaceTableFromDataFrame, AddColumn,
SynchronizeDeltaToSnowflakeTask, 'account' field now is mandatory as
they now use python snowflake connector (removing calls to Spark's JVM)
- Spark specific SnowflakeSparkStep introduced
- RunQuery is deprecated in favor of Python implementation

File: src/koheesio/integrations/snowflake/test_utils.py
- defines a reusable pytest fixture named mock_query that mocks the
query execution for SnowflakeRunQueryPython, allowing tests to simulate
query execution without connecting to Snowflake.

File: tests/spark/integrations/snowflake/test_spark_snowflake.py
- Added test to catch the deprecation warning in TestRunQuery.
- Added test to catch RuntimeError when connect is being used, this test
is skipped with a regular SparkSession
- Fixed TestAddColumn tests since it is a DDL statement.
- Updated all relevant tests to use dummy_spark fixture

File: tests/spark/integrations/snowflake/test_sync_task.py
- Minor refactoring of test body along with switching and updating some
of the mocks / fixtures

+Snowflake steps and tasks for Koheesio
+
+Every class in this module is a subclass of `Step` or `Task` and is used to perform operations on Snowflake.
+
+Notes
+-----
+Every Step in this module is based on [SnowflakeBaseModel](./snowflake.md#koheesio.spark.snowflake.SnowflakeBaseModel).
+The following parameters are available for every Step.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+url : str
+    Hostname for the Snowflake account, e.g. <account>.snowflakecomputing.com.
+    Alias for `sfURL`.
+user : str
+    Login name for the Snowflake user.
+    Alias for `sfUser`.
+password : SecretStr
+    Password for the Snowflake user.
+    Alias for `sfPassword`.
+database : str
+    The database to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `sfDatabase`.
+sfSchema : str
+    The schema to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `schema` ("schema" is a reserved name in Pydantic, so we use `sfSchema` as main name instead).
+role : str
+    The default security role to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `sfRole`.
+warehouse : str
+    The default virtual warehouse to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `sfWarehouse`.
+authenticator : Optional[str], optional, default=None
+    Authenticator for the Snowflake user. Example: "okta.com".
+options : Optional[Dict[str, Any]], optional, default={"sfCompress": "on", "continue_on_error": "off"}
+    Extra options to pass to the Snowflake connector.
+format : str, optional, default="snowflake"
+    The default `snowflake` format can be used natively in Databricks, use `net.snowflake.spark.snowflake` in other
+    environments and make sure to install required JARs.

+Snowflake steps and tasks for Koheesio
+
+Every class in this module is a subclass of `Step` or `Task` and is used to perform operations on Snowflake.
+
+Notes
+-----
+Every Step in this module is based on [SnowflakeBaseModel](./snowflake.md#koheesio.integrations.snowflake.SnowflakeBaseModel).
+The following parameters are available for every Step.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+url : str
+    Hostname for the Snowflake account, e.g. <account>.snowflakecomputing.com.
+    Alias for `sfURL`.
+user : str
+    Login name for the Snowflake user.
+    Alias for `sfUser`.
+password : SecretStr
+    Password for the Snowflake user.
+    Alias for `sfPassword`.
+database : str
+    The database to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `sfDatabase`.
+sfSchema : str
+    The schema to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `schema` ("schema" is a reserved name in Pydantic, so we use `sfSchema` as main name instead).
+role : str
+    The default security role to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `sfRole`.
+warehouse : str
+    The default virtual warehouse to use for the session after connecting.
+    Alias for `sfWarehouse`.
+authenticator : Optional[str], optional, default=None
+    Authenticator for the Snowflake user. Example: "okta.com".
+options : Optional[Dict[str, Any]], optional, default={"sfCompress": "on", "continue_on_error": "off"}
+    Extra options to pass to the Snowflake connector.
+format : str, optional, default="snowflake"
+    The default `snowflake` format can be used natively in Databricks, use `net.snowflake.spark.snowflake` in other
+    environments and make sure to install required JARs.

+    other set of pre-actions to be applied to a query, in that case existing pre-action aren't dropped, query tag
+    pre-action will be added to them.
+
+    Passed Snowflake options dictionary is not modified in-place, instead anew dictionary containing updated pre-actions
+    is returned.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    See this article for explanation: https://select.dev/posts/snowflake-query-tags
+
+    Arbitrary tags can be applied, such as team, dataset names, business capability, etc.
+
+    Example
+    -------
+    #### Using `options` parameter
+    ```python
+    query_tag = AddQueryTag(
+        options={"preactions": "ALTER SESSION"},
+        task_name="cleanse_task",
+        pipeline_name="ingestion-pipeline",
+        etl_date="2022-01-01",
+        pipeline_execution_time="2022-01-01T00:00:00",
+        task_execution_time="2022-01-01T01:00:00",
+        environment="dev",
+        trace_id="e0fdec43-a045-46e5-9705-acd4f3f96045",
+        span_id="cb89abea-1c12-471f-8b12-546d2d66f6cb",
+        ),
+    ).execute().options
+    ```
+    In this example, the query tag pre-action will be added to the Snowflake options.
+
+    #### Using `preactions` parameter
+    Instead of using `options` parameter, you can also use `preactions` parameter to provide existing preactions.
+    ```python
+    query_tag = AddQueryTag(
+        preactions="ALTER SESSION"
+        ...
+    ).execute().options
+    ```
+
+    The result will be the same as in the previous example.
+
+    #### Using `get_options` method
+    The shorthand method `get_options` can be used to get the options dictionary.
+    ```python
+    query_tag = AddQueryTag(...).get_options()
+    ```
+    """

+    options: Dict = Field(
+        default_factory=dict, description="Additional Snowflake options, optionally containing additional preactions"

+        # update options with new preactions
