When an LRA is closed/cancelled and some participants will never be able to complete/compensate then they are placed on the [BasicAction] failedList. The MP-LRA spec only requires that such failures are logged. The narayana implementation does indeed log the failure (using a log WARNING statement) but then removes the transaction record from the object store.

It would be preferable to leave failed LRA's in the store and allow them to be queried and deleted using the REST coordinator (like we do for recovering LRA's).
