runRuntimeGC

public void runRuntimeGC()

Over time garbage is created on the global log and clients sync parts of the log therefore clients can accumulate garbage overtime. This method runs a garbage collection process on the different client views, which discards data before the trim mark (i.e. the point that demarcates the beginning of the active log).
