Here's how I was able to use LOAD DATA.  First I ran into the issue of commas one field, in otherwise csv data.
So, I edited the data file with vi and changed all the delimiters to the '|' symbol using this vi command. :1,$ s/","/"|"/g
Then using SQL for the create table,
CREATE TABLE scotch_reviews ( name VARCHAR(255),
            category VARCHAR(255),
            review_point INT,
            price DOUBLE,
            description VARCHAR(2000),
            description_vector VECTOR(DOUBLE, 384))
Then using LOAD DATA:
LOAD BULK DATA FROM FILE 'scotch_reviews.tbl'
    INTO scotch_reviews (name, category, review_point, price, description)
    USING '{ "from": {"file": {"columnseparator":"|"} } }'
And it worked.
