Where is the Open Apache Hive Metastore API?

[Erik]

I 2023 it was announced that databricks has made a "Hive Metastore (HMS) interface for Databricks Unity Catalog, which allows any software compatible with Apache Hive to connect to Unity Catalog".

Is this discontinued? If not, is there any documentation on how to use it, particularly where to find the hive url, and how to handle authentication?

It seems that this option has been deprecated, it was a private preview but is no longer available for enrollment
