API

API Extensions

• DEPRECATION: the opentelemetry-extension-annotations module containing @WithSpan and @SpanAttribute annotations has been deprecated for removal in next major version. A copy of the code will instead be maintained in opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/instrumentation-annotations and published under coordinates io.opentelemetry.instrumentation:opentelemetry-instrumentation-annotations:{version}.

SDK

Traces

• Add default implementation for SpanData#getInstrumentationScopeInfo() and ReadableSpan#getInstrumentationScopeInfo(). This fixes a previous mistake where those interfaces were extended without default implementation, a breaking change for source compatibility. Stricter checks have been added to ensure this mistake is not repeated.

Logs

• BREAKING: delete LogDataBuilder. A similar implementation of LogData called TestLogData has been added to opentelemetry-sdk-logs-testing.
• BREAKING: rename LogProcessor#emit(LogData) to LogProcessor#onEmit(ReadWriteLogRecord). The argument change from LogData to ReadWriteLogRecord allows implementations to mutate logs. To obtain LogData, call ReadWriteLogRecord#toLogData().
• Optimize SdkLogEmitterProvider to return noop LogEmitter when no LogProcessors are registered.

Exporter

• Split out shared and internal exporter classes from opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-common to opentelemetry-exporter-common.
• Add experimental support for OTLP header based authentication. To use, add a dependency on opentelemetry-exporter-common and call io.opentelemetry.exporter.internal.auth.Authenticator#setAuthenticatorOnDelegate(OtlpHttp{Signal}Builder, Authenticator).
• Add ability to collect export metrics on ZipkinSpanExporter via ZipkinSpanExporter#setMeterProvider(MeterProvider).
• Minor optimization to OkHttp based exporters to cache endpoint URLs. Applies to OtlpHttp{Signal}Exporter, OtlpGrpc{Signal}Exporter, and more.
• Fix diagnostic log message in OtlpGrpc{Signal}Exporter to include correct environment variables.

SDK Extensions

• Extend View file based configuration with support for specifying explicit bucket histogram bucket boundaries and exponential bucket counts.
• Extend autoconfigure SPI AutoConfigurationCustomizerProvider and ResourceProvider with option to specify ordering.
• Add autoconfigure SPI with ConfigurableLogExporterProvider, allowing custom named log exporters to be provided and selected via autoconfigure.
• Extend autoconfigure SPI with AutoConfigurationCustomizer#addPropertiesCustomizer, providing the ability examine current configuration properties and add / overwrite properties.
