Description
This PR introduces a limit on the maximum number of exponential histogram buckets within the deltatocumulativeprocessor. Previously, when merging delta metrics into cumulative metrics, the resulting exponential histograms could grow very large, potentially causing excessive memory usage and processing overhead. By capping the number of buckets at 160 and dynamically downscaling histograms when necessary, this change ensures that the processor remains efficient and stable even when handling large, merged exponential histograms.
