Description

HADOOP-5823 added DeprecatedUTF8 class as a wrapper for UTF8. Though UTF8 is deprecated, it is used in many places and most likely will continue to be used for quite sometime. My initial thought was that other packages might want to use the wrapper DeprecatedUTF8.

But the current suggestion (discussed in HADOOP-5823) is to move the class to o.a.h.hdfs.

Alternately we could have just use "@SuppressWarnings" rather than introducing a new class.
