+ <p>
+ This config controls whether joins and merges may produce
out-of-order results.
+ The config value is the maximum amount of time in milliseconds
a stream task will stay idle
+ when it is fully caught up on some (but not all) input
partitions
+ to wait for producers to send additional records and avoid
potential
+ out-of-order record processing across multiple input streams.
+ The default (zero) does not wait for producers to send more
records,
+ but it does wait to fetch data that is already present on the
brokers.
+ This default means that for records that are already present
on the brokers,
+ Streams will process them in timestamp order.
+ The setting of -1 disables idling entirely and processes any
locally available data,
Review comment:
```suggestion
Set to -1 to disable idling entirely and process any locally
available data,
```
