Pranav Maniar resolved KAFKA-1944.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
As discussed on Mailing List and KIP-184 discussion.
This name changes will lead to many configuration name changes. Which seems to
be unnecessary trouble for users.
Also there are no evidence of users getting confused because of the naming.
So it is decided that we will stick with the existing names
> Rename LogCleaner and related classes to LogCompactor

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1944
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Gwen Shapira
> Assignee: Pranav Maniar
> Labels: newbie
>
> Following a mailing list discussion:
> "the name LogCleaner is seriously misleading. Its more of a log compactor.
> Deleting old logs happens elsewhere from what I've seen."
> Note that this may require renaming related classes, objects, configs and
> metrics.
