Description
The currently used OTLP protocol implementation is outdated (1.0.1-alpha). Although it is still marked as alpha it would be great if a more recent OTLP protobuf implementation would be used since some OTEL features (metrics ExponentialHistogram, etc) have changed since and consequently could be supported by Data Prepper.
Note: the OTLP proto implementation got new Maven coordinates. See the release notes of v1.9.0 for more details.

Research direction
Start by locating the current OTLP 1.0.1-alpha dependency and its usage in the Java project, then compare it with the Maven coordinates described in the OpenTelemetry v1.9.0 release notes. Update the dependency and verify that the Java build and tests pass with the newer OTLP protobuf implementation and its newer feature definitions.
