I've verified that SedonaContext can be created without geotools-wrapper:
pyspark --packages
org.apache.sedona:sedona-spark-shaded-3.5_2.12:1.5.2 --repositories
https://repository.apache.org/service/local/repositories/orgapachesedona-1036/content/
--conf spark.serializer=org.apache.spark.serializer.KryoSerializer
However, we still cannot run simple ST functions without
geotools-wrapper, the following query results in a "class
org.geotools.coverage.grid.GridCoverage2D not found" exception, while
RDD API seems to work without problem.
```
from sedona.spark import *
sedona = SedonaContext.create(spark)
sedona.sql("SELECT ST_Point(1, 2)").show()
```
