Description

Description

Currently, there is no way to programmatically create a notebook in Databricks using the core provider components (DatabricksHook, DatabricksRunNowOperator, or DatabricksSubmitRunOperator). If implemented, this change would allow Airflow users to create a Scala, R, Python, or SQL notebook in DBFS programmatically from Airflow.

Use case/motivation

This would be useful for our users who are hosting their notebooks in an Airflow repository and would like to utilize advantages of tools like jinja templating, orchestration, git version control, etc.

Research direction
Examine the existing DatabricksHook in airflow/providers/databricks/hooks/databricks.py to understand the current API and how to add a method for creating notebooks. Look at the Databricks REST API documentation for notebook creation endpoints. Review any linked PRs or comments for additional context. The implementation should create a new method in DatabricksHook that calls the Databricks API to create a notebook in DBFS.
