> Currently if in a running system there are some orphaned checkpoint present then they prevent the revision gc (compaction for segment) from being effective. 
> So far the practice has been to use {{oak-run checkpoints rm-unreferenced}} command to clean them up manually. This was set to manual as it was not possible to determine whether current checkpoint is in use or not. rm-unreferenced works with the basis that checkpoints are only made from AsyncIndexUpdate and hence can check if the checkpoint is in use by cross checking with {{:async}} state. Doing it in auto mode is risky as {{checkpoint}} api can be used by any module.
> With OAK-2314 we also record some metadata like {{creator}} and {{name}}. This can be used for auto cleanup. For example in some running system following checkpoints are listed
> {noformat}

> As can be seen that last 2 checkpoints are orphan and they would prevent revision gc. For auto mode we can use following heuristic
> # List all current checkpoints
> # Only keep the latest checkpoint for given {{creator}} and {{name}} combo. Other entries from same pair which are older i.e. creation time can be consider orphan and deleted
> This logic can be implemented {{org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.checkpoint.Checkpoints}} and can be invoked by Revision GC logic (both in DocumentNodeStore and SegmentNodeStore) to determine the base revision to keep
