deltatocumulative: Number of buckets in exponential histograms should be capped

euroelessar commented 5 months ago

Component(s)

processor/deltatocumulative

What happened?

Description

Currently size of an individual histogram is unbounded and can grow until OOM is reached. This is prominent if an application has large distribution of data overall but only relatively small in an individual delta datapoint. In this case cumulative aggregation keeps the scale but keeps growing number of buckets to fit all the data.

Steps to Reproduce

Send two histogram datapoints with the same scale but drastically different offsets.

Expected Result

Cumulative exponential histogram is downscaled to keep around ≈160 buckets.

Actual Result

Exponential histogram grows number of buckets instead, leading to OOM.

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/pull/34157 should address it, we've been using it in production for over a month. Can someone please review?

This problem is still relevant and we would not be able to use deltatocumulative in production without https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/pull/34157.

@sh0rez @RichieSams @jpkrohling please review 😄
