    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7671?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14091934#comment-14091934 ] 

Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-7671:
--------------------------------------

Where did you expect to find it on the Hive website?  Perhaps we should add it to the menu in a noticeable place.

If you look in the latest Javadocs, HCatalog packages are prominently displayed.  In previous releases, though, they seem to be missing -- the package org.apache.hive.hcatalog is empty in the 0.12.0 Javadocs.  The obsolete package org.apache.hcatalog is also empty.

* [Javadocs for Hive 0.13.1 | http://hive.apache.org/javadocs/r0.13.1/api/index.html]
* [Javadocs for Hive 0.12.0 (see org.apache.hive.hcatalog) | http://hive.apache.org/javadocs/r0.12.0/api/index.html]

The Hive wiki home page has a major section for HCatalog and WebHCat documentation.  The introduction also links to the HCatalog and WebHCat documentation.

> According to the Incubator website, HCatalog graduated to become part of Hive in Feb 2013, yet I could find no references to HCatalog on the Hive website, and there are still downloads on the Incubator mirrors:
> https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/hcatalog/
> The Incubator HCatalog website redirects to Hive, so it would help if there were some mention of what happened to it.
> Also if the HCatalog downloads are no longer relevant, they should be deleted from the incubator mirror.
> They will continue to be available from the archives website if there is a need to keep links to them for historic purposes:
> http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/hcatalog/
