   In this Jira we are planning to allow alter table command for a partitioned 
table without specifying any partition name.
   
   Proposed solution is to list all the partitions and find partitions that are 
eligible to get compacted and put an entry for it in compaction queue
   
   ### Why are the changes needed?
   <!--
   Please clarify why the changes are needed. For instance,
     1. If you propose a new API, clarify the use case for a new API.
     2. If you fix a bug, you can clarify why it is a bug.
   -->
   One of the problem could be ,let's say a table contains 1000s of partitions 
and for some issue like files permission automatic compaction will mark all or 
few partitions as failed and never pick for compaction. 
   
   After we see performance getting degraded, we find out that there is a 
problem in compaction due to some issue.
   
   Now to solve it, we have two approaches, adjust failure thresholds and 
restart HMS to pick the changes which is not going to work for someone who 
cannot restart HMS
   
   And the second approach is to execute alter table mentioning each partition 
1000+ times
