---------------------------------------------------------------

the patch only adds a test to make sure we acquire X lock for acid tables.  
changing this to create a new base_x will be done in 3.1 ideally after we add a 
new X_write lock that blocks other writes but not reads.

[~prasanth_j] could you review please

> How should this work?  Should it work like Insert Overwrite T select * from T 
> where 1=2?
> This should create a new empty base_x/ and thus operate w/o violating 
> Snapshot Isolation semantics.
> This makes sense for specific partition or unpartitioned table.  What about 
> "Truncate T" where T is partitioned?  Is the expectation to wipe out all 
> partition info or to make each partition empty?
