This method defines a temporal processing constraint for an adapter, i.e., the start and stop time over which an adapter will process data. Actual implementation of the constraint will be adapter specific. Implementations should be able to dynamically handle multiple calls to this function with new constraints. Passing in null for the startTime and stopTime should cancel the temporal constraint and return the adapter to standard / real-time operation.
The startTime and stopTime parameters can be specified in one of the following formats:
Time Format | Format Description |

* | Evaluates to UtcNow. |
*-20s | Evaluates to 20 seconds before UtcNow. |
*-10m | Evaluates to 10 minutes before UtcNow. |
*-1h | Evaluates to 1 hour before UtcNow. |
*-1d | Evaluates to 1 day before UtcNow. |
