Deprecate the groupArray field and datatype in the Area table

Big Picture User Experience

Deprecate both the area field and the groupArray type in the realtime schema.

Detailed Description

The groupArray field holds information that was synced from ADAM.

It is currently hard-limited to 20 groups, whereas there is no actual limit in ADAM. As such, the sync code truncates to only 20 groups when syncing this data from ADAM into Realtime.

Since this information is not used to determine a user's actual AOR memberhsip, this field is not needed, and adds to confusion around where to get the actual ADAM configuration.

This deprecation will ensure that those still using this field are warned ahead of time before we actually remove it in a follow-up feature 3 major versions from now.

It must be shown that this information is available via API.


Acceptance Criteria

This will trigger compiler warnings for those still using them.

It must be shown that this information is available via API.


Business Value

None, other than to clean up some technical debt and reduce the amount of dead code in the product, and to prevent developers from making errornous assumptions.


Target Version
