> We clean replaced file groups during archival as part of PR#2048. But we may want do this during clean stage to prevent storage overhead.
> Outstanding questions:
> 1) With KEEP_LATEST_VERSIONS, when is a replaced file eligible to clean? Assume file slice has f1_c1, f1_c2. After that 'f1' is replaced by some other file groups.   If KEEP_LATEST_VERSIONS=2 When can we delete f1_c1, f1_c2?
> Options:
> * We can introduce new policy to delete replaced files. For example, we could fallback to KEEP_LATEST_COMMITS for replaced files
> * Build 'slice' across file groups. If we know the new files that are replacing 'f1', then we can treat as single slice and delete oldest versions. This can get really complicated because f1 can be replaced by multiple file groups which can then be replaced by some other file groups
> 2)If there is a savepoint on the fileId that is eligible to clean, can we delete it?
> Options: 
> * Do not delete the file. Clean and archival cannot make progress. We need a mechanism to notify that clean and archival are blocked.
> * Ignore savepoints and delete the file. This is breaking contract. (This is current behavior with deleting files during archival)
> 3)If there is a pending/inflight compaction on the fileId that is eligible to clean, can we delete it? What happens to compaction scheduled if we delete it?
> * This is unlikely to happen because we dont replace files that have pending compaction. Also, after a file is replaced, it is not visible to compaction, so any further compaction cannot be scheduled.  However, if for any reason, we see replaced files that have pending compaction, and are eligible to clean, its probably better to block clean and archival
