### Change Logs Fix issue #8498 In flink multi-writer scenario, if one of the writers has no data, it will keep its inflight instant in the timeline. But incremental clean and archive will be blocked by the oldest inflight commit in the timeline. So to make clean and archive can move forward we should upport starting a new instant even when there is no data in the last batch. ### Impact Now we will commit the instant even when there is no data in current batch, thus there maybe some useless commits on the timeline. ### Risk level (write none, low medium or high below) None ### Documentation Update _Describe any necessary documentation update if there is any new feature, config, or user-facing change_ ### Contributor's checklist - [x] Read through [contributor's guide](https://hudi.apache.org/contribute/how-to-contribute) - [x] Change Logs and Impact were stated clearly - [x] Adequate tests were added if applicable - [ ] CI passed -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
