Description

```

No module named 'keplergl'
  File "/opt/workspace/tests/benchmarks/test_raster_classification_petastorm.py", line 8, in <module>
    from sedona.spark import SedonaContext
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keplergl'

```

I think when installing sedona's python API, kepler.gl needs to be included as a dependency.

But even better, I think it would be good to separate kepler.gl as a dependency from sedona. It's only needed if folks want to do visualization and should probably be marked as an extra dependency that could be installed as an extra [viz]dependency like `pip install apache-sedona[viz]`.
