It is always a good idea to start the New Year with something new. We decided to do it differently and start this New Year with deprecations. Cleaning up deprecated or obsolete parts of our system also has a place in our TODO lists.
So we'd like to announce the following deprecations of a few components in the US region, MySQL transformations and storage bucket/tables attributes.
Components
Google Drive Writer (wr-google-drive)
- We announced the new version of Google Drive Writer on June 28th, 2017.
- This is the last call, the old component will be shut down by the end of this month - January 31st, 2019.
Lucky Guess (rt-lucky-guess)
- Enhanced Analysis for Redshift backend is no longer available.
- This component will be shut down on January 31st, 2019.
SalesForce Extractor (ex-salesforce)
- This component is already deprecated.
- This component will be shutdown on January 31st, 2019.
YouTube Extractor (ex-youtube)
- This component is already deprecated and no jobs were run in last months.
- This component will be shut down immediately.
Zendesk Extractor (ex-zendesk)
- A new version of the Zendesk extractor was announced on July 27, 2016.
- Like the YouTube Extractor, no jobs were run in last months and we will shut it down immediately.
Restbox (restbox)
- This component was deprecated on July 16, 2018 with multiple replacements.
- Same here, no jobs were run in last months and it will be shut down immediately.
MySQL Transformations
MySQL Transformations were deprecated on November 13, 2017. As we promised, MySQL Transformations were supported in 2018 and will be finally shut down on January 31st, 2019.
Deprecated Bucket and Table attributes
We are deprecating Bucket and Table attributes. These attributes were used as configuration storage for legacy components. If you need to store additional information with buckets or tables, please use the Metadata API.
