> this is a followup to HIVE-13369. Only open txns should prevent use of a
> base file. But ValidTxnList does not make a distinction between open and
> aborted txns. The presence of aborted txns causes false positives which can
> happen too often since the flow is
> 1. Worker generates a new base file,
> 2. then asynchronously Cleaner removes now-compacted aborted txns. (strictly
> speaking it's Initiator that does the actual clean up)
> So we may have base_5 and base_10 and txnid 7 aborted. Then current impl
> will disallow use of base_10 though there is no need for that. Worse, if
> txnid_4 is aborted and hasn't been purged yet, base_5 will be rejected as
> well and then an error will be raised since there is no suitable base file
> left.
> ErrorMsg.ACID_NOT_ENOUGH_HISTORY is msg produced
