As an update, it is now 6pm PDT on September 5th, and we're now done with the changes in HIVE-4895 and HIVE-4896.
However, there is one more issue we found along the way, and that's addressed by HIVE-5233 which I still have to review before committing. hcatalog/ itself can be considered unfrozen, but we still need to consider hcatalog/storage-handlers/hbase/ frozen till 11:59pm PDT on September 5th. Since this directory only deals with code that is now considered deprecated, I hope it won't affect anyone (except Viraj from HIVE-4331) but that patch is not in a patch-available state.
