[Feature] compact_database: detect misconfigured including_tables in combined mode #10453

Search before asking

• I searched in the issues and found nothing similar.

Motivation

including_tables / excluding_tables of compact_database must match the whole databaseName.tableName.
A short-name pattern such as table_* matches no table, and only divided mode reports it (2.0.0 and master):

• divided: fails with no tables to be compacted ...
• combined, batch: finishes successfully without compacting anything
• combined, streaming: keeps running without compacting anything, with no log above DEBUG

The Flink docs example used this form with mode => 'combined' (see #10452 ).

Solution

1. combined, batch: fail at build time when no table matches, as divided does. Is there a reason to keep finishing successfully in this case?
2. combined, streaming: log a WARN from the source when no table matches, mentioning the databaseName.tableName format. Keep running, because a streming job may start before its tables are created.
3. divided: mention the databaseName.tableName format in the error message.

Anything else?

makes a combined batch job with no matching table fail instead of finishing.
