Hibernate legacy org.hibernate.Criteria is considered deprecated. See http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.4/userguide/html_single/Hibernate_User_Guide.html#appendix-legacy-criteria.

You should use a JPA criteria query instead.

It is unlikely that the Hibernate team will work on a fix for this issue. If you provide a pull request with a test an fix, we may consider fixing it.
