   IIUC, we are delegating the clean up of failed writes to cleaner. Did you folks discuss the possibility of introducing another async table service called FailedJobsCleaner or something. Bcoz, we can't force customer to make regular cleaning aggressive as they might have their own reasons to retain for longer period of time. But what if they wish to clean up failed writes sooner but not inline ;) Also, from my understanding, this new "FailedJobsCleaner" does not need to coordinate w/ anything or take locks. just need to delete unreachable files. So, overhead may not be much as compared to other jobs. no updates to metadata as well right? or do we need to? 
   
   I understand we keep adding more weight to async operations (cleaning, compaction, clustering, etc). anyways, wanted to hear your thoughts.
