The PCAP [config
readme](https://github.com/apache/metron/tree/master/metron-platform/metron-pcap-backend#configuration)
does not talk more about the units for this parameter (whether seconds, or
minutes or something else). I looked through the code as well, but was not able
to find more info. If someone could clarify about this, I can add the units so
it is clearer.
