Wei Zheng updated HIVE-13175:
-----------------------------
Attachment: HIVE-13175.3.patch
patch 3 for test.
[~ekoifman] I updated the error message to include db and tbl name, but looks
like ErrorMsg is mainly for ql module and nothing in metastore is using that.
So I still use the plain error message.

> The fact that compactor rewrites contents of ACID tables is in conflict with
> what is expected of external tables.
> Conversely, end user can write to External table which certainly not what is
> expected of ACID table.
> So we should explicitly disallow making an external table ACID.
