Description

This version of the library contains several improvements and it's compatible with Java 9.

However, starting from 4.0.0 metrics-ganglia is no longer available, which means that if we upgrade we will have to remove the corresponding SolrGangliaReporter.

Such change is not back-compatible, so I see the following options:

• wait with the upgrade until 8.0
• upgrade and remove SolrGangliaReporter and describe this in the release notes.

Any other suggestions?
