Description

Observed while adding ClientRequestMetrics for CASSANDRA-16183

While ViewWriteMetrics inherits from ClientRequestMetrics, none of the additional members from that class are used.

We should figure out if those should be marked somehow, or if it would it be worth deprecating ViewWriteMetrics.timeouts, etc and making that class derive directly from LatencyMetrics in a later release.
