Missing python dependency in openmetadata-ingestion : cachetools

Affected module
The python SDK requires the use of cachetools, but it's missing.

Describe the bug
Commit c1592b5 introduced the need of cachetools. However, it never properly setup the dependency itself, but it was always available through the transitive dependency in google-auth. This no longer works because they dropped its support 2 days ago (googleapis/google-auth-library-python#1590).

To Reproduce
Import openmetadata-ingestion. This will throw ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cachetools'.

Expected behavior
Do not throw on importing openmetadata-ingestion.

Version:

OS: Linux
Python version: 3.13
OpenMetadata version: -
OpenMetadata Ingestion package version: latest

Additional context
Happy to write an MR, but I can only do so later this week. It's a very simple fix so if anyone can pick it up sooner that also works for me.

Fixed with #25112

@geo-mathijs

@geo-mathijs did you mean without installing the sample-data plugin, you are facing this issue?
@keshavmohta09 we might have to move it to base deps then

Yes, as I mentioned the normal import is broken due to google-auth removing this dependency and the dependency tree now lacking cachetools overall.

See minimum reproduction:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install 'openmetadata-ingestion'
uv run python -c "import metadata"

This throws when importing, not even needing a specific module.

Same issue btw (we are running python3.10)

I added this dependency for now in the setup.py of my custom connector
