@arunmahadevan throughput should control by batch size not by
tickTupleinterval. If the tuples are not appearing the hive table or hdfs file,
one should lower the batch size or configure the tickTupleInterval to lower but
making this default is not ideal. Most often users won't configure them and can
create adverse effects in production. 15 secs will at least guarantee the
tuples won't be timing out and not create smaller files.
