JIRA or Github Issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-doris/issues/8984

Released: 1.1 - 1.2

Motivation

BetaRowset has been online for a long time, and has been the default format, performance and stability have been fully verified, currently in our code base still retains support for AlphaRowset, while taking into account the support of AlphaRowset for our follow-up Development has added a lot of unnecessary work, so I propose to remove the alphaRowset support and code in doris.
