Hi Team, I am seeing several jiras proposing removing functions from Hive: HIVE-18691 Drop Support for Explicit Table Lock From Apache Hive HIVE-18692 Remove HPL/SQL From Apache Hive HIVE-18448 Drop Support For Indexes From Apache Hive I generally agree with removing unused functions. Especially ones which add extra effort to upkeep without real user base. My question is wether Hive has a deprecation policy for function deprecation like Hadoop: https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/Compatibility.html#Deprecation <https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/Compatibility.html#Deprecation>
Thanks, Peter
