#Thread
batchLimit: 1000

Here is how it can look like:
#MAP
keyMapping:
key1: value1
key2: value2
Generally YAML format has natural support of key-value pairs. Take a look on the following tutorial (just for example): https://github.com/Animosity/CraftIRC/wiki/Complete-idiot's-introduction-to-yaml
Or just google "yaml map" for more details.
