> The log cleaner is a critical process when using compacted topics.
> However, if there is any error in any topic (notably if a key is missing)
> then the cleaner exits and all other compacted topics will also be adversely
> affected - i.e., compaction stops across the board.
> This can be improved by just aborting compaction for a topic on any error and
> keep the thread from exiting.
> Another improvement would be to reject messages without keys that are sent to
> compacted topics although this is not enough by itself.
