@copilot This looks incorrect. The previous implementation showed the correct thing. need to continue to do the same even though we dont need mutable ref anymore

You're absolutely right! I've restored the proper shutdown semantics in commit d65d0ec. The TonicTracesClient now uses Mutex<Option<ClientInner>> to properly track shutdown state with &self, preserving the original behavior where the first call to shutdown() returns Ok(()) and subsequent calls return Err(AlreadyShutdown).

Ok(())

@copilot Why is allow(dead_code) added for this method. This seems to be used within the SDK.

You're correct - the keep_records_on_shutdown method is actually used in multiple places within the SDK (batch_log_processor.rs, simple_log_processor.rs, and log_processor_with_async_runtime.rs). I've removed the incorrect #[allow(dead_code)] annotation in commit e512fba.

You're right - those changes to the test code were unrelated to the SpanExporter trait modifications. I've reverted them back to use TraceId::from_u128(13) and SpanId::from_u64(14) in commit e512fba.

@copilot if exporter.shutdown does not require mutable ref, then is there any reason for processor to wrap the exporter inside mutex?

You're absolutely right! Since the exporter methods now use &self, the mutex is no longer needed. I've removed it in commit 94817d7. The SimpleSpanProcessor now stores the exporter directly without wrapping it in a Mutex, which eliminates the locking overhead for export, shutdown, and force_flush operations while maintaining thread safety through the exporter's inherent Send + Sync requirements.

@copilot Excellent! We can do similar change to BatchSpanProcessor as well?

Yes! I've optimized BatchSpanProcessor in commit 85cdc91. Since the SpanExporter methods now use &self, the BatchSpanProcessor can use &exporter instead of &mut exporter for export operations, reducing unnecessary mutability requirements while maintaining thread safety. The only method that still needs &mut is set_resource which appropriately uses &mut self in the trait.
