> Allow Configurable Periods for Profiler Client

>
> By default, the Profiler creates Profiles with a period duration of 15
> minutes. This means that data is accumulated, summarized and flushed every 15
> minutes. The Client API must also have knowledge of this duration to
> correctly retrieve the profile data. If the client API is expecting 15 minute
> periods, it will not be able to read data generated by a Profiler that has
> been configured with a 1 hour period.
> The period duration can be configured in the Profiler by altering the
> Profiler topology's static properties file. The Stellar Client API currently
> provides no means to configure the period duration and defaults also to 15
> minutes. This means that the Stellar Client API can only read profiles with a
> period duration of 15 minutes. This is a known limitation that has not yet
> been addressed.
