Review comment:
       I'm not sure I agree with this. I think that an `enabled` flag is 
compatible with other configuration. It is one simple config you can use to 
flip on or off a feature, without altering other properties. For example, if I 
were trying to debug something and I suspected caching, I'd go set this to 
disabled. It would annoy me at that point if Iceberg complained that I have 
caching disabled, but set a config property for it. So I'd probably override 
with `cache-enabled` and ignore that the interval is set or not.
