Owen O'Malley commented on HIVE-17924:
--------------------------------------
The reason for keeping it is because removing it is painful for our users. For
an API breaking change there should be a very good reason. I believe the right
fix is removing the deprecation.
> Restore SerDe by reverting HIVE-15167 to unbreak API compatibility

> pain for our users. We should revert it and restore the SerDe interface.
