Description
Updates the serialization of exponential histogram buckets to remove unnecessary zero buckets. If there are no non-zero buckets, then none are serialized. This matches better the payloads from the JavaScript SDK and avoids ingestion problems with a downstream vendor when an empty negative bucket appears.
Fixes #3767
Type of change
Please delete options that are not relevant.
How Has This Been Tested?
Added unit tests to ensure that the truncation of the zero buckets works as expected. Updated the unit test for metric encoding to exercise this functionality.
