+                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,
