Thanks for adding this new provider @gopidesupavan!!
Looks like the static checks are failing since the the new provider apache.datafusion is not listed in path below.

Direct link:
https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/airflow-core/docs/extra-packages-ref.rst#apache-software-extras

Suggest to add this to the relevant reference.

Alphabetical order: apache-cassandra should come before apache-datafusion here. The entry was inserted between apache-beam and apache-cassandra, which breaks the alphabetical sort the rest of the table follows. Move it down two rows so the order reads beam, cassandra, datafusion, drill.

uv.lock on main just moved via #68642 ("Prepare provider documentation 2026-06-16"), commit 0236c57 and this PR currently conflicts.

Quickest fix:

git fetch upstream main && git rebase upstream/main
rm uv.lock && uv lock
git add uv.lock && git rebase --continue
git push --force-with-lease

Automated nudge — ignore if you're not ready to rebase. This comment is updated in place on future uv.lock bumps.
