Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-1944:
----------------------------------------
The name LogCleaner is somewhat entrenched. If this is just a matter of
renaming {{LogCleaner}} to {{LogCompactor}}, that could be done in a MINOR PR,
but that probably only makes sense if we change the configuration
{{log.cleaner.enable}} as well. On the other hand, since we have changed its
default value to true and since two key components now depend on it (i.e. the
new consumer and the transactional producer), maybe we should consider
deprecating the config instead?
