Description

**_Tips before filing an issue_**

- Have you gone through our [FAQs](https://hudi.apache.org/learn/faq/)?

- Join the mailing list to engage in conversations and get faster support at dev-subscribe@hudi.apache.org.

- If you have triaged this as a bug, then file an [issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/HUDI/issues) directly.

**Describe the problem you faced**

As of now - the Hudi streaming source has limited features compared to well-known Sources, such as Apache Kafka.
We needed such functionality and managed to add it and run it for > 6 months with no problems.
The list of features we have among the current master:
1. Support of TriggerAvailableNow
2. Support for Admission control(similar to Kafka maxTriggerDelay/minNumberRows/etc) - allows you to limit the number of rows processed in a single batch(`conf` value setting) - for this, we read the commit line and pack commits given number of changed rows inside - ofc this will lead to final number be less than customer set, because some rows may have updates.
3. Metrics about this logic(like batch delayed/started/initial run).
4. Metrics about backlog - such as how many rows are in backlog(logic from above) / batches to be run(based on rows/records per batch).
5. custom start/end time - currently only `start` can be defined.

Given this - would the Hudi team be interested in this? I can create the Pull Request.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating Hudi's streaming source and reviewing its current trigger and start-position behavior; compare it with the requested TriggerAvailableNow, admission-control, backlog metrics, and custom start/end-time capabilities. Done means the agreed feature scope is implemented and covered by verification for each requested behavior.
