Mechanism to Change Default Reservoir for Timer Metrics

[ben-nickerson]

We recently have run into the issue where our io.dropwizard.jetty.MutableServletContextHandler.requests metric and other latency calls are not decaying for infrequently hit endpoints. It's resulting in our services remaining in the alert stage until another request comes in.

Is there a way to change the default reservoir from the ExponentiallyDecayingReservoir to the SlidingTimeWindowArrayReservoir?

Or can you help figure out why our metrics are not decaying for infrequently hit endpoints?
