Hive metastore table access control End of Support

Hello,

We are using Databricks with Hive metastore and not Unity Catalog.

We would like to know if there is any End of Support on Table Access Control with Hive as this link it states that it is legacy.

https://docs.databricks.com/en/data-governance/table-acls/index.html

I understand Databricks recommends Unity Catalog but we want to continue with Hive.

Kindly advice if Hive and Table Access control will be supported with Databricks in the upcoming runtime or we will expect some limitation or EOS.

Thanks Kaniz, that clears my concerns.

We will do some evaluation on Unity Catalog and follow the upgrade path for it.
