Review Comment:
   I have checked the behavior of spark by running the test `TestEmptyCommit`. 
Spark will commit the empty instant by default as expected, and if we turn off 
the `hoodie.allow.empty.commit` spark won't commit the commit instant. 
   
   What do you think for Flink engine? I think maybe we can keep current 
bahavious as default that reuse the instant.
