Description

Follow up from HBASE-10656, where enis says:

the main problem is that we have A LOT of per-region metrics that are latency histograms. These latency histograms create many many Counter / LongAdder objects. We should get rid of per-region latencies and maybe look at reducing the per-region metric overhead.

And ghelmling gives us a good candidate to implement pre-region latency histograms HdrHistogram.

Let's consider removing the per-region latency histograms and reimplement using HdrHistogram.
