Description

There are a lot of methods in HCatalog that have been deprecated in HCatalog 0.5, and some that were recently deprecated in Hive 0.11 (joint release with HCatalog).

The goal for HCatalog deprecation is that in general, after something has been deprecated, it is expected to stay around for 2 releases, which means hive-0.13 will be the last release to ship with all the methods that were deprecated in hive-0.11 (the org.apache.hcatalog.* files should all be removed afterwards), and it is also good for us to clean out and nuke all other older deprecated methods.

We should take this on early in a dev/release cycle to allow us time to resolve all fallout, so I propose that we remove all HCatalog deprecated methods after we branch out 0.13 and 0.14 becomes trunk.
