> _max.task.idle.ms_ is an handy way to pause processing in a *_kafka-streams_* application. This is very useful when you need to join two topics that are out of sync, i.e when data in a topic may be produced _before_ you receive join information in the other topic.
> In the documentation, however, it is not specified that the value of _max.task.idle.ms_ *must* be lower than _max.poll.intervall.ms_, otherwise you'll incur into an endless rebalancing problem.
> I think it is better to clearly state this in the documentation.
