Hello Guozhang,
Thank you for your reply.

Hum, I somehow misunderstood the code. Now I understand that is true.

regularly by intervals"
I see. I'd consider taking that approach!
Another question just from curiosity:
>From looking at code, setting `commit.interval.ms` to a negative value can
also indicate "not commit regularly by intervals." In other words, it has
the same effect as setting it to Long.MAX_VALUE.
Is this true?
The implication of setting the property to a negative value is
undocumented, so I'm thinking setting it to Long.MAX_VALUE is preferable.
Thank you.
