JournalGarbageCollector (Jackrabbit Oak 1.71-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.document.JournalGarbageCollector

```
public class JournalGarbageCollector
extends Object
```
The JournalGarbageCollector can clean up JournalEntries that are older than a particular age.
It would typically be invoked in conjunction with the VersionGarbageCollector but must not be confused with that one - 'journal' refers to the separate collection that contains changed paths per background writes used for observation.
