Description

Queue Buffering Max Time is translated to the "queue.buffering.max.ms" rdkafka property, which defaults to 5 ms. Our default is 10 seconds. It's the time librdkafka waits to fill up an internal buffer until it sends the batch to the broker. So if minifi wants to send just a few messages, it has a 10 sec latency by default.

The issue is about changing it to 5 milliseconds, the librdkafka default, also a much more sane default.
