[Important] Build issue on version 3.27, 3.28, 3.29

[sbrunner]

Currently, the versions 3.27, 3.28, 3.29 fail to build.

The dependency com.readytalk:metrics3-statsd:4.2.0 looks do not be available anymore (the last release is 7 years old)

If a solution isn't found since next week, this will be dropped.
