Review Comment:
   > What is the semantic that you want here?
   
   Time at which the record was ingested into the stream. 
   
   > Time at which the record was generated upstream
   
   This would be event time and it is possible that the event time is used as 
the record timestamps (this is possible in Kafka by allowing record to use 
producer's timestamp). However, from Pinot's point of view, we only care about 
how soon a record became available for consumption. 
   
   > In other words, in Pinot, if I write an expression 
(System.currentTimeMillis() - getRecordTimeStampMs()) what do you expect this 
value to signify (independent of any underlying stream, of course)?
   
   I want this expression `System.currentTimeMillis() - getRecordTimestampMs()` 
to indicate the message availability for consumption since the time it became 
available in source. It should _tend towards 0_ when the consumer is fully 
caught up the upstream data
