Every test result report in the compaction test prints a distinct log messae, and some of the reports print a name that varies at runtime. This causes problems for automation since a lot of automation software uses the printed string as the name of the test, if the name varies from run to run and from pass to fail then the automation software can't identify that a test changed result or that the same tests are being run.
Refactor the logging to use a consistent name when printing the result of the test, printing the existing messages as diagnostic information instead so they are still available for people trying to interpret the results.
I'm not convinced that this is a good stable candidate, it will change the output people are seeing in their test environment which might be an undesirable change.
Did it change the output in a breaking way in the other stable trees and normal releases that happened with this commit in it?
