# What does this PR do?
Adds try-catch to faiss `query_vector` function for when the distance
between the query embedding and an embedding within the vector db is 0
(identical vectors). Catches `ZeroDivisionError` and then appends `(1.0
/ sys.float_info.min)` to `scores` to represent maximum similarity.

Closes [#2381]
## Test Plan
Checkout this PR
Execute this code and there will no longer be a `ZeroDivisionError`
exception
```
from llama_stack_client import LlamaStackClient
base_url = "http://localhost:8321"
client = LlamaStackClient(base_url=base_url)
models = client.models.list()
embedding_model = (
em := next(m for m in models if m.model_type == "embedding")
).identifier
embedding_dimension = 384
_ = client.vector_dbs.register(
vector_db_id="foo_db",
embedding_model=embedding_model,
embedding_dimension=embedding_dimension,
provider_id="faiss",
)
chunk = {
"content": "foo",
"mime_type": "text/plain",
"metadata": {
"document_id": "foo-id"
}
}
client.vector_io.insert(vector_db_id="foo_db", chunks=[chunk])
client.vector_io.query(vector_db_id="foo_db", query="foo")
