Deprecated and Retired Functionality
This section describes the two phases Open Text Corporation follows to retire Vertica functionality:
- Deprecated. Vertica announces deprecated features and functionality in a major or minor release. Deprecated features remain in the product and are functional. Documentation is included in the published release documentation. Accessing the feature can result in informational messages noting that the feature will be removed in the following major or minor release. Vertica identifies deprecated features in this document.
- Removed. Open Text Corporation removes a feature in the major or minor release immediately following the deprecation announcement. Users can no longer access the functionality. Vertica announces all feature removal in this document. Documentation describing the retired functionality is removed, but remains in previous documentation versions.
