-[Exemplars](#exemplars) on OpenTelemetry Histograms SHOULD be converted to Prometheus exemplars. Exemplars on other OpenTelemetry data points MUST be dropped.  For Prometheus push exporters, multiple exemplars are able to be added to each bucket, so all exemplars SHOULD be converted.  For Prometheus pull endpoints, only a single exemplar is able to be added to each bucket, so the largest exemplar from each bucket MUST be used, if attaching exemplars.  If no exemplars exist on a bucket, the highest exemplar from a lower bucket MUST be used, even though it is a duplicate of another bucket's exemplar.
