Hi Prometheus,

This is Yang from OpenCensus. Last year we added an OpenCensus Prometheus exporter that exports metrics to Prometheus end points. I saw you added an optional "timestamp" value as part of metric sample in #337 - on OpenCensus we haven't updated our exporter to set this field. However, when our users were using the OpenCensus Prometheus exporter, they got a bunch of warning logs saying (original issue: census-instrumentation/opencensus-java#1215):

[WARNING] 
java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: timestampMs

Since "timestamp" is an optional field, would it be better to reduce such warning logs when it is unset in the metric sample?
