Description

Change in protobuf behavior noticed by mbertozzi. His test TestStressWALProcedureStore#testEntrySizeLimit keeps upping size we write and he found that now we are bound at 64MB. Digging, yeah, there is a check in place that was not there before. Filed https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/2324 but making issue here in meantime in case we have to note a change-in-behavior in hbase-2.0.0
