Shuo Cheng commented on CALCITE-3723:
-------------------------------------

In current design, when we create a `Hintable` relnode through `RelBuilder`, we 
have to call `withHints` method to attach specific hints to the relnode, which 
is also error-prone. So +1 to deprecate the old constructor of the `Hintable` 
relnode and make corresponding changes to relFactory and `RelBuilder`.

> Following the change to add hints to RelNode, deprecate the old constructors

> In CALCITE-482 and CALCITE-3590 we added constructors for various sub-classes 
> RelNode ({{LogicalProject}}, {{LogicalAggregate}}, and others) that take a 
> list of hints. But now those classes have two constructors. Our practice has 
> been to have only one (public, non-deprecated) constructor in each RelNode 
> class. (Otherwise we would have dozens.) So, please deprecate the old 
> constructors and change code that uses them.
> Can we do this before 1.22?
> Also note that the new and old constructors have exactly the same comment. 
> You should avoid that. But in this case, just remove the comment of the 
> deprecated constructor.
> The non-hints constructor does {{new ArrayList<>()}}. Please change to use 
> {{ImmutableList.of()}}, which saves a malloc.
