That is a good question, and I have had a similar question before. Deprecating it in 3.9 should be fine, so the problem is "can we remove it from 4.0"? 1) "we usually have a deprecation period of at least 1 year" this was what I believed before. 2) However, it seems another rule is "we don't introduce breaking changes in minor releases." If the above conditions have to be satisfied, I guess the version we can remove those deprecated stuff is 5.0.0 :) Also, there is another KIP trying to deprecate something in 3.8 and then remove it in 4.0. ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=303794933) Maybe it is a good time to have a discussion about the deprecation cycle. Personally, the second rule is easy to follow, but the side effect is that the "deprecation cycle" is not fixed (for example, one year). Best, Chia-Ping Matthias J.
