Regionserver log on CDH 5.7 swamped with global.memstore.upperLimit deprecated messages when Trafodion under high transactional load

Was running a basic Trafodion checkout to validate a recently installed instance, and saw huge growth in the regionserver's log file. In under 5 hours, I was close to rolling a log, and after 10 hours, I was 122MB into the second log. On a different cluster, it was days before the log rolled. So I investigated further.

At the top, I found the usual startup stuff, and messages as I loaded my test tables,

Then came pages and pages and pages and pages of errors about a deprecated call:

2017-05-03 19:52:18,858 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.util.HeapMemorySizeUtil: hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.upperLimit is deprecated by hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.size

How many in this 5 hour old instance?

grep " hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.upperLimit is deprecated by hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.size" hbase-cmf-trafhbase-REGIONSERVER-glacier01.cluster.local.log.out | wc -l
1084218
[trafodion@glacier01 hbase]$

In other words, a lot of extra energy is spent logging in the hbase regionserver. Over a million of them.

The loads to set up my tables are not transactional, so I didn't see the same level of message generation.

To reproduce the problem, run a transactional workload on HBase 1.2/CDH 5.7. I use a version of the order entry benchmark.
