Owen O'Malley commented on HIVE-6757:
-------------------------------------
Hive does *not* have a need to maintain backwards compatibility with third
party jars. The user installed third party jars and needs new versions to work
with the current version of Hive. That doesn't mean that Hive should start
publishing source code in the parquet namespace.
There can't be any technical reason to block this patch.
* It removes unused java files.
* It does not break compatibility with any release of Hive
* It prevents creating a new public API that starts deprecated.
This is straight forward goodness. It breaks no one and prevents downstream
problems. I strongly encourage you to work with the parquet team to create a
new version of their jar with these four compatibility classes.
> Remove deprecated parquet classes from outside of org.apache package
