Review Comment:
   When there is no data in current batch but 
`WRITE_ALLOW_COMMIT_ON_EMPTY_BATCH` is set as true, we will commit instant 
directly and start a new instant (thus the write functions can get new instant 
to write and unblock flushing) 
   
   I noticed that in current implementation when there is no data, the write 
functions will set the `isConfirming` flag as true and wait the coordinator 
call `sendCommitAckEvents`.  Not sure if there will be some cases that the 
write function will be blocked because we do not call `sendCommitAckEvents` and 
just start a new instant instead.
