> When we start a flink job to consume apache kafka, we usually use offsetLag,
> which can be calulated by current-offsets minus committed-offsets, but
> sometimes the offsetLag is hard to understand, we can hardly to judge wether
> the value is normal or not. Kafka have proposed a new metric: freshness(see
> [a-guide-to-kafka-consumer-freshness|https://www.jesseyates.com/2019/11/04/kafka-consumer-freshness-a-guide.html?trk=article_share_wechat&from=timeline&isappinstalled=0]).
> So we can also expose the freshness metric for kafka connector to improve the
> user experience.From this freshness metric, user can easily know wether the
> kafka message is backlog and need to deal with it.
