These two methods are marked as deprecated and the plan is to remove them in 3.0.0 release.
But the javadoc says To be replaced with an alternative that does not expose InterfaceAudience classes such as WALKey and WALEdit. But there are no such methods for now. So I wonder whether there are actual usages of these two methods in the community. If so, I think we need to change the deprecation cycle to remove them in 4.0.0, until we introduce the alternate methods. Thoughts? Thanks.
