Hi all, In SPARK-46171 (apache/spark#44077 [1]), I’m trying to remove the deprecated HiveContext from Apache Spark 4.0 since HiveContext has been marked as deprecated after Spark 2.0. This is a long-deprecated API, it should be replaced with SparkSession with enableHiveSupport now, so I think it's time to remove it.
Feel free to comment if you have any concerns. [1] https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/44077 Thanks, Jie Yang
