Description

I noticed that MiNiFi doesn't compress rolled over logs, like NiFi does. It is a strange situation when the logs directory in minifi is 20 times bigger than everything else.

Proposal: update MiNiFi logback to compress log files on rollover like NiFi.

Bonus: switch to a default WARN level maybe? To reduce log writing in the first place.
