+- ⚠️ Metrics SDK Breaking ⚠️ : the `AttributeFilter` fields of the `Stream` from `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric` is replaced by the `AttributeKeys` field.
+  The `AttributeKeys` fields allows users to specify an allow-list of attributes allowed to be recorded for a view.
+  This change is made to ensure compatibility with the OpenTelemetry specification. (#4288)
