Method	Description
org.springframework.data.mapping.model.MappingInstantiationException.getConstructor()	since 3.0, use MappingInstantiationException.getEntityCreator() instead.
org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentEntity.getPersistenceConstructor()	since 3.0, use PersistentEntity.getInstanceCreatorMetadata().
org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentEntity.isConstructorArgument(PersistentProperty<?>)	since 3.0, use PersistentEntity.isCreatorArgument(PersistentProperty) instead.
org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentPropertyAccessor.getProperty(PersistentPropertyPath<? extends PersistentProperty<?>>)	since 2.3, use PersistentPropertyPathAccessor.getProperty(PersistentPropertyPath) instead
org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentPropertyAccessor.getProperty(PersistentPropertyPath<? extends PersistentProperty<?>>, TraversalContext)	since 2.3, use PersistentPropertyPathAccessor.getProperty(PersistentPropertyPath, org.springframework.data.mapping.AccessOptions.GetOptions) instead.
org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentPropertyAccessor.setProperty(PersistentPropertyPath<? extends PersistentProperty<?>>, Object)	since 2.3, use PersistentPropertyPathAccessor.setProperty(PersistentPropertyPath, Object) instead.
org.springframework.data.mapping.PreferredConstructor.isConstructorParameter(PersistentProperty<?>)	since 3.0, use InstanceCreatorMetadata.isCreatorParameter(PersistentProperty) instead.
org.springframework.data.repository.config.RepositoryBeanDefinitionRegistrarSupport.registerBeanDefinitions(AnnotationMetadata, BeanDefinitionRegistry)	since 2.2, call RepositoryBeanDefinitionRegistrarSupport.registerBeanDefinitions(AnnotationMetadata, BeanDefinitionRegistry, BeanNameGenerator) instead.
