Research direction
Start by examining existing tests in the `yb admin test` directory to understand the test framework and patterns used. Look for examples of similar output validation tests for other yb admin commands. The issue requires covering `compact table`, `compact table by id`, `flush table`, and `flush table by id` with all input arguments. Ensure the tests check the expected output format by parsing the command output. Relevant files likely include `yb admin test.cc` or similar. Review any linked Jira for additional context.
