public class PeriodicSequence extends PTransform<PCollection<PeriodicSequence.SequenceDefinition>,PCollection<Instant>>
PTransform which generates a sequence of timestamped elements at given runtime
 intervals.
 Transform assigns each element some timestamp and will only output element when worker clock reach given timestamp. Transform will not output elements prior to target time. Transform can output elements at any time after target time.

PTransformPTransform should be expanded on the given
 InputT.
 NOTE: This method should not be called directly. Instead apply the PTransform should
 be applied to the InputT using the apply method.
 
Composite transforms, which are defined in terms of other transforms, should return the output of one of the composed transforms. Non-composite transforms, which do not apply any transforms internally, should return a new unbound output and register evaluators (via backend-specific registration methods).
