Agree with both Steve's. Personally, I'm okay with removing those properties - but using the proposed phased approach.

I have some concerns on the issue of silent behavior change that Steve Zhang raised in the PR comment. E.g., users may set the location based on the deprecated table property, With this change, it would silently switch to a new location. This can potentially mess up orphan file cleanup etc.

Maybe we should consider the more conservative two-step approach that Steve mentioned (1) in the next release of 1.9, fail when those properties were defined in the table (2) remove those properties' references maybe in 2.0.

    +1 for removing. Thanks for taking up the cleanup duty!

    I looked up the usage for the property and its string value with
    github search, and confirmed that they are not used.

    Also, for reference, here are the previous related PRs:

    Best,

            Thanks Fokko for removing deprecated properties!

            Just want to highlight the worst case for tables with old
            configuration and not aware of this deprecation might
            experience silent behavior change. But considering this
            has been deprecated for past 3 years, here’s my +1.

            Thanks,
            Steve Zhang

            Hi everyone,

            While reviewing the LocationProvider equivalent of
            PyIceberg, I noticed some old code in the Java codebase
            that I felt could be cleaned up. You can find the PR over
            here <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/12174>. This
            one removes the deprecated properties:

            OBJECT_STORE_PATH = "write.object-storage.path";
            WRITE_FOLDER_STORAGE_LOCATION = "write.folder-storage.path";

            These have been deprecated since Iceberg 0.12, and would
            like to know if anyone has any concerns about removing these.

            Kind regards,
            Fokko
