During test_compact02, calls to session.compact() can fail due to eviction pressure. The test retries compaction in these cases, but still fails because it wasn't expecting the message WT issues when this happens.
I observed this in a recent WT patch build:
Here's the failure message from the test:

We have seen this symptom before in WT-6328 and WT-3942. In both cases the we increased the number of times the test retries compaction. Currently we will attempt to compact up to 80 times. But as the output above shows, the test only triggered the "compaction halted by eviction pressure" message three times. So I believe the issue here is not the number of times we retry compaction, but rather that the test doesn't expect that message and fails if it sees it in the output.
