+1 on the idea. we'll also be able to remove a may of unit tests that cover
old API
> Remove deprecated methods in HCatalog
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-6432
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6432
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: HCatalog
> Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan
>
> There are a lot of methods in HCatalog that have been deprecated in HCatalog
> 0.5, and some that were recently deprecated in Hive 0.11 (joint release with
> HCatalog).
> The goal for HCatalog deprecation is that in general, after something has
> been deprecated, it is expected to stay around for 2 releases, which means
> hive-0.13 will be the last release to ship with all the methods that were
> deprecated in hive-0.11 (the org.apache.hcatalog.* files should all be
> removed afterwards), and it is also good for us to clean out and nuke all
> other older deprecated methods.
> We should take this on early in a dev/release cycle to allow us time to
> resolve all fallout, so I propose that we remove all HCatalog deprecated
> methods after we branch out 0.13 and 0.14 becomes trunk.
