Upgrade to latest dropwizard metrics

[eranharel]

The latest dropwizard metrics (4.x.x) removed a lot of clutter, and is now Java 8 based and supports Java 9.
Now that the older (< 8) Java versions are EOL it makes sense to upgrade.
Is there a plan to upgrade this project?

I'm not a direct user of this project, just trying to upgrade metrics-clojure.

Hi Eranharel,

Thanks for the heads up and we will see into upgrading to the latest dropwizard metrics.
