Description

When an insert, update, or delete is done using dynamic partitioning the lock is obtained on the table instead of on the individual partitions, since the partitions are not known at lock acquisition time. The compactor is using the locks to determine which partitions to check to see if they need compacted. Since the individual partitions aren't locked they aren't checked.
