Description

In some properties that specify a time period, like Max Connection Lifetime of DBCPProperties, the documentation claims that the property value is to be defined in a concrete time unit, like milliseconds.
However, those properties use the StandardValidators.TIME_PERIOD_VALIDATOR, or a derivative thereof, which supports to define the period in a plethora of time units.

The documentation should be changed accordingly, to clarify that the properties do not require an integer value of a static time unit but rather the declaration of a time period including a time unit.
