> While reviewing the patch for OAK-1582 I stumbled over a few issues with {{MarkSweepGarbageCollector}} that need improving. First an foremost {{MarkSweepGarbageCollector}} needs better documentation. The current javadoc as for many methods and arguments their semantics and invariants are unclear. 
> Furthermore:
> * {{MarkSweepGarbageCollector#init()}}: why an init method, and not pass the respective arguments directly to the constructor? Also at when are clients allowed to call init? Can I call it while a a GC cycle is currently taking place? 
> * Is there (do we need) a protection for multiple GCs being initiated in parallel?
> * {{MarkSweepGarbageCollector.Sweeper#run}} and {{MarkSweepGarbageCollector.BlobIdRetriever#retrieve}} catch {{Exception}} and {{e.printStackTrace()}}. This needs improving.
> * {{MarkSweepGarbageCollector#sweep}} catches {{InterruptedExceptionInterruptedException}}  and {{e.printStackTrace()}. This is wrong as at least the threads interrupted status need to be set.
> * {{DocumentNodeStore#getReferencedBlobsIterator}} is passed into {{MarkSweepGarbageCollector#init)}} in {{DocumentNodeStoreService}}. Won't this iterator be consumed after the first gc run such that any further run won't do anything?
> [~amitj_76], could you have a look at these points and create sub tasks as required?
