Dawid Wysakowicz closed FLINK-24465.
------------------------------------
Release Note: Configuring buffer timeout to be equal to `-1` to flush only
when buffers were full was broken in FLINK-18832. In Stream execution mode it
was overwritten with 100ms. Fortunately it should not have had a visible impact
as `100ms` should still be enough time to fill in buffers before sending them
downstream.

> The javadoc for {{setBufferTimeout}} and similarly the documentation for
> {{execution.buffer-timeout}} claims:
> {code}
> /**
> * Sets the maximum time frequency (milliseconds) for the flushing of the
> output buffers. By
> * default the output buffers flush frequently to provide low latency and
> to aid smooth
> * developer experience. Setting the parameter can result in three
> logical modes:
> *
> * <ul>
> * <li>A positive integer triggers flushing periodically by that integer
> * <li>0 triggers flushing after every record thus minimizing latency
> * <li>-1 triggers flushing only when the output buffer is full thus
> maximizing throughput
> * </ul>
> *
> * @param timeoutMillis The maximum time between two output flushes.

> {code}
> which is not true.
> The {{-1}} value translates to 100ms. See
