Description

Don't merge please / WIP / Prototype

Adds new a Python instrumentation Labeler, inspired by Go's net/http instrumentation: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib#306. It stores KVs added to it in the current context. The add / add_attributes can be called by user's instrumented code manually, or by custom distros.

Labeler could be read by existing instrumentors so that any added KVs are merged into the attributes of metrics being written. In this PR, FlaskInstrumentor does this so that custom attributes are added to the record calls of the new and old duration histograms.

Could address #3405 though with a new class instead of request/response hooks.

Provides foundation for ASGI instrumentor custom metrics, #1801
