Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-12916:
-----------------------------------------
Can we keep the old methods for backward compat though?
Ideally, new method should be created with all args being in a request object
(and response object) that are easy to modify in the future.
See e.g. AddPartitionsRequest and add_partitions_req API - the new API was
added to make it extensible, and all usages of old APIs were replaced inside
Hive, while the old APIs are still preserved for backward compat for external
users. Perhaps we can discuss separately the removal of all old APIs in Hive 2
line, but that should be done in a more systematic manner.

> for example, void alter_table(1:string dbname, 2:string tbl_name, 3:Table
> new_tbl) and void alter_table_with_environment_context(1:string dbname,
> 2:string tbl_name, 3:Table new_tbl, 4:EnvironmentContext
> environment_context), we plan to keep only the latter one.
