Deprecating/removing aliasing support **IS** naturally a backward compat
issue.
You have expressed your concern that you don't like registering aliases in
HdfsSpout. But removing aliasing is not the solution to address your concern.
Like I said before, If you know how to implement aliasing without
registering in HdfsSpout then it would address your concern and we can look
into this PR.... otherwise there is nothing left to look into here.
