Thank you Yun Tang. My implementation potentially could block for significant amount of time, because I wanted to do RDBMS maintenance (create partitions for new data, purge old data etc) in-line with writing stream data to a database

If you really find it would block for a long time, I think that's because your processing logic has some problem to stuck. On the other hand, since processing checkpoint and records hold the same lock, we cannot process checkpoint when the record processing logic did not release the lock.
