Description

from TransactionalValidationListener.handleCreateTableTransactionalProp()

    if ("false".equalsIgnoreCase(transactional)) {
      // just drop transactional=false.  For backward compatibility in case someone has scripts
      // with transactional=false
      LOG.info("'transactional'='false' is no longer a valid property and will be ignored: " +
        Warehouse.getQualifiedName(newTable));
      return;
    }

this msg is misleading since with metastore.create.as.acid=true, setting transactional=false is valid to make a flat table
