Is your feature request related to a problem?
Yes. Currently, the OpenTelemetry CPP repo uses the latest release, version 9.0, of the CPP Prometheus client. However, using this release will throw an exception when trying to use the Prometheus Exporter. The exception reads libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type CivetException: null context when constructing CivetServer. Possible problem binding to port.
Describe the solution you'd like
Until a new release is established, we instead should use the master branch of the CPP Prometheus client. Though this means we won’t be using a stable version, the Prometheus Exporter would work properly and when a newer version is released, that could be the new version to use.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, we can keep using version 9.0 and wait for a new version of the Prometheus client to be released. This allows the Prometheus Exporter to be dependent on a stable release; however, the Prometheus Exporter would not work, and a new release may not come soon.
