Description
Follow on to working on #23029
The API health policy deprecation guidelines say deprecated methods remain for
6 major versions or 6 months, whichever is longer
Thus, as of now when we are working on 55.0.0. anything deprecated in 49.0.0 or earlier clears the six-major-version side of the policy
Here is a list of possible candidate code we can remove. I suggest creating individual PRs for each item (or similar ones) to speed up review and merge
Deprecated API Removal Candidates
Obvious Candidates
UnionExec::new, deprecated in 44.0.0. Replacement:UnionExec::try_new.DFParser::newandDFParser::new_with_dialect, deprecated in 46.0.0. Replacement:DFParserBuilder.datafusion_sql::{ResolvedTableReference, TableReference}re-exports, deprecated in 46.0.0. Replacement: import fromdatafusion_common.ScalarValue::raw_data, deprecated in 46.0.0. Replacement:to_array.Signature::get_possible_types, deprecated in 46.0.0. Replacement:get_example_types.RowIndex, deprecated in 46.0.0 and appears unused outside its definition.ViewTable::try_new, deprecated in 47.0.0. Replacement:ViewTable::new.DFSchema::check_arrow_schema_type_compatible, deprecated in 47.0.0 and appears definition-only.coerce_file_schema_to_view_typeandcoerce_file_schema_to_string_type, deprecated in 47.0.0. Replacement:apply_file_schema_type_coercions.create_writer, deprecated in 48.0.0 and appears definition-only. Replacement:ObjectWriterBuilder::new(...).Filter::try_new_with_having, deprecated in 48.0.0 and appears definition-only. Replacement:try_new.
More Invasive Candidates
DiskManagerConfig,DiskManager::try_new, andRuntimeEnvBuilder::with_disk_manager, deprecated in 48.0.0. Eligible, but removal touches runtime configuration plumbing.Expr::Wildcard, deprecated in 46.0.0. Eligible, but higher risk because it is an enum variant and may affect downstream pattern matches.- Old Substrait variation constants in
variation_const.rs, deprecated in 41.0.0 to 43.0.0. Eligible, but currently used internally to consume older Substrait encodings, so removal may be a compatibility decision rather than mechanical cleanup.
