### Change Logs Updated compact and logcompact to start a heartbeat (within a transaction) before attempting to execute a plan. If multiple writers attempt to execute same compact/logcompact plan at same time, only one of them will process and the rest will fail with an exception (upon seeing a heartbeat has already been started) and will abort. ### Impact Without this change, if multiple jobs are launched at the same that target executing the same compact/logcompact plan (due to a non-HUDI related user-side configuration/orchestration issue) then one job can execute the compact/logcompact plan and create an inflight/commit instant file while the other jobs can roll it back (and delete inflight instant files or data files). This can lead to timeline being in a corrupted state. ### Risk level (write none, low medium or high below) _If medium or high, explain what verification was done to mitigate the risks._ ### Documentation Update _Describe any necessary documentation update if there is any new feature, config, or user-facing change. If not, put "none"._ - _The config description must be updated if new configs are added or the default value of the configs are changed_ - _Any new feature or user-facing change requires updating the Hudi website. Please create a Jira ticket, attach the ticket number here and follow the [instruction](https://hudi.apache.org/contribute/developer-setup#website) to make changes to the website._ ### Contributor's checklist - [ ] Read through [contributor's guide](https://hudi.apache.org/contribute/how-to-contribute) - [ ] Change Logs and Impact were stated clearly - [ ] Adequate tests were added if applicable - [ ] CI passed -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
