bq. the weighted one is the default but you can specify it to length of 
application
what do you mean ? we don't want to change it to be the maximum value since the 
application started. The only matter concerns the fact that in some cases it's 
not the maximum for the last 5 minutes but can be for the last 20 minutes like 
in my case. Do you think, the last version of metrics could enforce it to 
corresponds to the last 5 minutes ? AFAIU the documentation it says that as

a forward-decaying priority reservoir it should represent the recent data
