If we set Conflate Run time to be 5 seconds, this means if you have two real time events(say a query): event A and event B on the queue. Event A gets executed immediately, getting popped from the queue and triggers the Conflation mechanism. The next event, which is event B, will not get executed until 5 seconds later. In other words, as soon as the first event gets executed, the next event will get stalled by the conflation rerun time so that the data modeler does not rerun more frequently than 5 seconds per time.
