Geneva-Uploader otlp encoder drops fields of an OTLP event if it's type is not one of the following: String, bool, int, double.

opentelemetry-rust-contrib/opentelemetry-exporter-geneva/geneva-uploader/src/payload_encoder/otlp_encoder.rs

Lines 459 to 464 in 854a9b2

	let type_id = match val {
	Value::StringValue(_) => BondDataType::BT_STRING,
	Value::IntValue(_) => BondDataType::BT_INT64,
	Value::DoubleValue(_) => BondDataType::BT_DOUBLE,
	Value::BoolValue(_) => BondDataType::BT_BOOL,
	_ => continue,

It should support maps, byte array types etc In case these cannot be supported instead of sending part of a OTEL event it should either drop the event or send complex type in json string format.
