HCA Certification is unavailable. What happened?

Question

I was waiting for the new changes to the certifications by Hortonworks to be completed in order register for HCA. But now I do not see the option to purchase the HCA certification. It says 'Currently Unavailable' even after the 31 December 2018 which was supposed to be the date after which the exam was supposed to be active again. Why is this and when will this be made available, if at all it is going to be. Or Is this going to be removed from the certifications altogether? The other certifications are available for purchase. And do any of the other certifications require HCA as a pre-requisite?

Thanks

Nanda

I have recently learnt from the Cloudera Team (Now that Hortonworks is Cloudera), HCA is does not exist anymore.

The option to purchase has now been activated in https://learn.hortonworks.com/hortonworks-certified-associate-hca-exam. I am yet to purchase the exam. However, in https://www.examslocal.com/, I do not see an option to schedule HCA. Is this exam supposed to be taken in some other manner and not via Exam Locals? I'm doing this to check the option on how many days I have from the date of purchase to actually take up the exam.
