Description

This option was a fallback/safeguard option introduced when the fine-grained failover for batch was added.
With the fine-grained batch failover, the batch result partitions were no longer immediately cleaned up, but retained for recovery until the scheduler decided that they were no longer needed.

The purpose of the flag was to restore the old "immediate cleanup" behavior should it be needed.

The batch failover has proven stable and this fallback option can be removed now.
