   When previous scan is progress return value is 0. This 0 indicates that no items are garbage collected. This is wrong because in actual there was not attempt to garbage collect any item. Purpose of this change  is to correct this wrong behavior to inform the user properly so they take correct actions.
   
   > By making it return -1, do we want client to wait for certain duration before retrying? Is that the purpose behind this change?
   
   It is up to the API user how they want to handle it.  yes, running after time could be one of the options
