Description

The CQL functions dateof and unixtimestampof were deprecated on Cassandra 2.2.0, almost eight years ago. They were deprecated in favour of the then new totimestamp and tounixtimestamp functions.

A note about their deprecation was added to NEWS.txt, and they were marked as deprecated on CQL.textile. They are also listed as deprecated on the new doc.

We can finally remove those functions in 5.0, since they have been deprecated for so long.

Discussion thread here.
