Field timeSeries[0].points[0].distributionValue had an invalid value: Distribution value has 15 |bucket_counts| fields, which is more than the 14 buckets allowed by the bucketing options.

Indirectly via trying the Stackdriver Exporter with OpenCensus agent: https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-service/issues/456#issuecomment-472109142

There appears to be an issue using view.Distribution[s]:

Failed to export to Stackdriver: rpc error: code = InvalidArgument desc = Field timeSeries[0].points[0].distributionValue had an invalid value: Distribution value has 15 |bucket_counts| fields, which is more than the 14 buckets allowed by the bucketing options.

Regardless of the number of buckets chosen, the error will be:

Distribution values has {X} [bucket_counts| fields, which is more than the {X-1} buckets allowed by the bucketing options

workaround is to remove bucket with 0 bounds.

Thank you! I noticed removal of the "0" bucket in the code and had wondered whether that was a solution but forgot to try it. Thank you @rghetia

Any plan to fix this issue?
