Deprecation of RubiX, Alluxio, and Sentry in the Starburst Enterprise Hive connector

Starburst has announced the deprecation of RubiX, Alluxio, and Sentry integrations with its Enterprise Platform Hive connector due to maintenance and security concerns, effective immediately. RubiX has been inactive for two years and lacks support from the Trino project, while Alluxio's support was discontinued in October 2019, leading to the decision to enhance security by removing these dependencies. Starburst plans to release an updated Hive connector that excludes RubiX, Alluxio, and Apache Sentry (deprecated in June 2023) to improve security. A legacy version of the Hive connector will be available until June 1, 2024, for users who still rely on these solutions, although it will not include defect or security vulnerability support. For users seeking alternatives, Starburst suggests exploring solutions like Starburst Warp Speed and Starburst Galaxy to enhance data performance.
