### What changes were proposed in this pull request? Introduce a configuration to enable/disable ACID functionality in Hive Metastore ### Why are the changes needed? With the increasing adoption of the Apache Iceberg table format, many deployments no longer rely on ACID (transactional) tables provided by Apache Hive. In such environments, ACID-related functionality in the Hive Metastore becomes unnecessary. Currently, Hive Metastore initializes and runs several background threads and services that are specifically designed to support ACID operations (e.g., compaction handling, transaction management, cleanup tasks). These components continue to run regardless of whether ACID tables are actually used in the deployment. Running ACID-related services in environments that do not use ACID tables leads to: 1. Unnecessary resource consumption (CPU, memory, threads) 2. Increased operational overhead 3. Additional complexity in debugging and monitoring 4. Longer startup times and maintenance burden Providing a mechanism to disable ACID functionality would streamline such deployments and improve efficiency. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? No ### How was this patch tested? Added unittests -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
