Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-24644:
--------------------------------------

Usually we should keep the deprecated classes for a whole major release, as
what we describe in the ref guide.
But here I define the IA.Public annotation on LoadIncrementalHFiles as a
mistake, especially that it exposes several IA.Private classes, so I used a
more aggressive policy to drop the class.
IIRC I've gotten consensus from the community. We should add a special note on
this in our ref guide too.
