    I think there is no particular benefit, at least given the current 
implementation. On the other hand, before we place a hard limit, we should know 
it is really needed, that it is not just a manifestation of another issue.
    
    From my understanding - if reader gets empty partitions, the particular 
split should not connect to Kafka, or contribute to checkpoint size, it should 
actually only emit MAX_WATERMARK (which means that there will be no more data 
from this split) and sleep forever (or terminate after 
`shutdownSourcesAfterIdleMs` milliseconds).  Is this not working in your case?
