Alan Gates commented on HIVE-13201:
-----------------------------------
The tests shouldn't be dropped, they should instead be changed so that they are
properly transactional tables. The point of the tests is to cover that 'alter
table compact' works from the command line. If you feel this is tested
elsewhere in a better way then we can remove these tests.
Other than that, +1 on the patch.

> Looks like compaction is allowed on non-ACID table, although that's of no
> sense and does nothing. Moreover the compaction request will be enqueued into
> COMPACTION_QUEUE metastore table, which brings unnecessary overhead.
> We should prevent compaction commands being allowed on non-ACID tables.
