> There are a lot of methods in HCatalog that have been deprecated in HCatalog 0.5, and some that were recently deprecated in Hive 0.11 (joint release with HCatalog).
> The goal for HCatalog deprecation is that in general, after something has been deprecated, it is expected to stay around for 2 releases, which means hive-0.13 will be the last release to ship with all the methods that were deprecated in hive-0.11 (the org.apache.hcatalog.* files should all be removed afterwards), and it is also good for us to clean out and nuke all other older deprecated methods.
> We should take this on early in a dev/release cycle to allow us time to resolve all fallout, so I propose that we remove all HCatalog deprecated methods after we branch out 0.13 and 0.14 becomes trunk.
