   > > In 4.0, the 
[CompactionJobPrioritizer](https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/582da789ac97a56fa313fa71fe109eb8f44bafc9/core/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/core/util/compaction/CompactionJobPrioritizer.java#L37-L36)
 was updated to determine the correct compaction job priority across all 
tables, removed the need to have separate meta and root compaction services.

   > Thanks, I forgot about that change. If the user wants to use the `default` 
group for the `root` and `metadata` tables, then they would need to define the 
old `root` and `meta` compaction services for the purpose of the upgrade, then 
change the tables' `table.compaction.dispatcher.opts.` properties afterwards to 
use the `default` compaction service.
   
   yep! The actual `root` and `meta` compaction services are only defined in 
the default configuration. 
   An upgrade to 4.0 would change the default config, but if the two compaction 
services are defined in zookeeper or the manager's instance.properties file 
then the upgrade would proceed as expected.
    
   > I wonder if this PR should be updated to validate only the user tables 
compaction service configuration, and then in a different PR add a method to 
the 4.0 upgrade code that removes root and meta compaction dispatcher 
properties if they match the ones added in the 2.1 InitialConfiguration class.
   
   I think having the upgrade code validate all table compaction services is a 
good improvement.
    If a compaction service is malformed then we can't really do an auto fix 
for that, other than full deletion.
   
   But, instead of matching and removing properties based on old values, the  
upgrader could throw a warning and exit like what you've done here. And on 
`--force` it just changes the dispatcher property value to be `default` for  
any undefined compaction service name.
