<dl>
<dt><b>Backpressure:</b></dt>
<dd>The operator generates values based on time and ignores downstream backpressure which
may lead to {@code MissingBackpressureException} at some point in the chain.
Consumers should consider applying one of the {@code onBackpressureXXX} operators as well.</dd>
<dt><b>Scheduler:</b></dt>
<dd>You specify which {@link Scheduler} this operator will use.</dd>
</dl>

@param period
the period size in time units (see below)
@param unit
time units to use for the interval size
@param scheduler
the Scheduler to use for scheduling the items
@return a Flowable that emits a sequential number each time interval
