Hi all,

I’d like to draw your attention to SOLR-12461: Upgrade Dropwizard Metrics to 
4.0.5 release.

The upgrade would've been straightforward if not for the fact that Dropwizard 
removed support for Ganglia reporter in 4x due to a transitive LGPL dependency 
(on remotetea).

We have to upgrade this library on master - version 3x is not compatible with 
Java 11 (due to the internal use of sun.misc.Unsafe), so the Ganglia reporter 
on master is a goner either way. The question remains what to do about 8x.

We could stick to Metrics 3 on branch 8x in order to preserve back-compat, but 
Metrics 4 contains many important bug fixes and improvements so it’s a shame to 
have to keep using Metrics 3 for the complete lifecycle of 8x... I’m rather 
inclined to break the back-compat (ever so slightly ;) ) for the greater good - 
do the upgrade and remove Ganglia in 8x, and put a note in CHANGES to that 
effect.

What do people think about this?
