Hi everyone I am writing to inquire about the current state of support for Accumulo in Hive, particularly with regard to its testing and stability. Furthermore, I would like to discuss the possibility of deprecating Accumulo in an upcoming release(4.x) unless there are specific plans or use cases that warrant its continued support.
Few questions I have are: Has it been actively maintained and tested to ensure compatibility with recent changes in Hive and Accumulo? Are there any known issues or limitations that users should be aware of? It would be helpful to understand the level of support and reliability we can expect when working with Hive and Accumulo integration. Considering the rapid development on both Hive and accumulo side and the need to focus development efforts on widely adopted and actively used components, I believe it is essential to periodically reassess the inclusion of such features. In this context, I would like to discuss the potential deprecation of Accumulo in a future Hive release. If Accumulo lacks widespread adoption or if its integration with Hive is not sufficiently tested and stable, deprecating it could streamline development efforts and allow for increased focus on other critical areas and stable Hive release. However, I understand that there might be specific use cases or plans that necessitate its continued support. If this is the case, I would appreciate a brief understanding of such scenarios. Please share your insights, recommendations, and any pertinent information regarding the same. I look forward to hearing views on this. Regards, Akshat Mathur
