I tried a couple of options. The attached patch is the least invasive. Will commit unless voted down.

> HDFS write latency spikes especially are an indicator of general cluster overloading. We see this where the WAL writer complains about writes taking > 1 second, sometimes > 4, etc.  If for example the average write latency over the monitoring period is exported as a metric, then this can feed into alerting for or automatic provisioning of additional cluster hardware. While we're at it, export read side metrics as well.
