Changelog

Unreleased:

Version 1.2.0 - 2021-05-07

General

Enhancements

  • The "Implementation-Version" attribute has been added to the jar manifests for all published jar artifacts.

API

Enhancements

  • A new method has been added to the Span and the SpanBuilder to enable adding a set of Attributes in one call, rather than having to iterate over the contents and add them individually. See Span.setAllAttributes(Attributes) and SpanBuilder.setAllAttributes(Attributes)

Behavioral Changes

  • Previously, an AttributeKey with a null underlying key would preserve the null. Now, this will be converted to an empty String.

SDK

Enhancements

  • The IdGenerator.random() method will now attempt to detect if it is being used in an Android environment, and use a more Android-friendly IdGenerator instance in that case. This will affect any usage of the SDK that does not explicitly specify a custom IdGenerator instance when running on Android.

Behavioral Changes

  • The name used for Tracer instances that do not have a name has been changed to be an empty String, rather than the previously used "unknown" value. This change is based on a specification clarification.

Propagators

Bugfixes

  • The B3 Propagator injectors now only include the relevant fields for the specific injection format.

Behavioral Changes

  • The W3CBaggagePropagator will no longer explicitly populate an empty Baggage instance into the context when the header is unparsable. It will now return the provided Context instance unaltered, as is required by the specification.
  • The AwsXrayPropagator will no longer explicitly populate an invalid Span instance into the context when the headers are unparsable. It will now return the provided Context instance unaltered, as is required by the specification.

Exporters

  • The jaeger-thrift exporter has had its dependency on the jaeger-client library updated to version 1.6.0.
  • The zipkin exporter now has an option to specific a custom timeout.
  • The zipkin, jaeger and jaeger-thrift exporters will now report the otel.dropped_attributes_count and otel.dropped_events_count tags if the numbers are greater than zero.

Semantic Conventions (alpha)

Breaking Changes

  • The SemanticAttributes and ResourceAttributes have both been updated to match the OpenTelemetry Specification v1.3.0 release, which includes several breaking changes.
  • Values that were previously defined as enums are now defined as static public static final constants of the appropriate type.

OpenTracing Shim (alpha)

Enhancements

  • Error logging support in the shim is now implemented according to the v1.2.0 specification.

SDK Extensions

  • A new HostResource Resource and the corresponding ResourceProvider has been added. It will populate the host.name and host.arch Resource Attributes.
  • A new ExecutorServiceSpanProcessor has been added to the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-tracing-incubator module. This implementation of a batch SpanProcessor allows you to provide your own ExecutorService to do the background export work.
  • The autoconfigure module now supports providing the timeout setting for the Jaeger GRPC exporter via a system property (otel.exporter.jaeger.timeout) or environment variable (OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_TIMEOUT).
  • The autoconfigure module now supports providing the timeout setting for the Zipkin exporter via a system property (otel.exporter.zipkin.timeout) or environment variable (OTEL_EXPORTER_ZIPKIN_TIMEOUT).
  • The autoconfigure module now exposes the EnvironmentResource class to provide programmatic access to a Resource built from parsing the otel.resource.attributes configuration property.

Metrics (alpha)

Breaking Changes

  • The deprecated SdkMeterProvider.registerView() method has been removed. The ViewRegistry is now immutable and cannot be changed once the SdkMeterProvider has been built.

Bugfixes

  • OTLP summaries now have the proper percentile value of 1.0 to represent the maximum; previously it was wrongly set to 100.0.

Enhancements

  • There is now full support for delta-aggregations with the LongSumAggregator and DoubleSumAggregator. See AggregatorFactory.sum(AggregationTemporality). The previous AggregatorFactory.sum(boolean) has been deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

Version 1.1.0 - 2021-04-07

API

Bugfixes

  • We now use our own internal @GuardedBy annotation for errorprone so there won't be an accidental transitive dependency on a 3rd-party jar.
  • The TraceStateBuilder now will not crash when an empty value is provided.

Enhancements

  • The Context class now provides methods to wrap java.util.concurrent.Executor and java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService instances to do context propagation using the current context. See io.opentelemetry.context.Context.taskWrapping(...) for more details.

OpenTracing Shim (alpha)

  • The shim now supports methods that take a timestamp as a parameter.
  • You can now specify both the TEXT_MAP and the HTTP_HEADER type propagators for the shim. See io.opentelemetry.opentracingshim.OpenTracingPropagators for details.

Extensions

  • The AWS X-Ray propagator is now able to extract 64-bit trace ids.

SDK

Bugfixes

  • The CompletableResultCode.join(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) method will no longer fail the result when the timeout happens. Nor will whenComplete actions be executed in that case.
  • The SimpleSpanProcessor now keeps track of pending export calls and will wait for them to complete via a CompletableResultCode when forceFlush() is called. Similiarly, this is also done on shutdown().
  • The Jaeger Thrift exporter now correctly populates the parent span id into the exporter span.

Enhancements

  • The SpanBuilder provided by the SDK will now ignore Link entries that are reference an invalid SpanContext. This is an update from the OpenTelemetry Specification v1.1.0 release.
  • The OTLP Exporters will now log more helpful messages when the collector is unavailable or misconfigured.
  • The internals of the BatchSpanProcessor have had some optimization done on them, to reduce CPU usage under load.
  • The Resource class now has builder() and toBuilder() methods and a corresponding ResourceBuilder class has been introduced for more fluent creation and modification of Resource instances.
  • The standard exporters will now throttle error logging when export errors are too frequent. If more than 5 error messages are logged in a single minute by an exporter, logging will be throttled down to only a single log message per minute.

SDK Extensions

Bugfixes

  • Removed a stacktrace on startup when using the autoconfigure module without a metrics SDK on the classpath.

Enhancements

  • The autoconfigure module now supports OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT and OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT settings, in addition to the combined OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT environment variable. Corresponding system properties are also supported (-Dotel.exporter.otlp.metrics.endpoint and -Dotel.exporter.otlp.traces.endpoint).
  • An SdkMeterProviderConfigurer SPI is now available in the autoconfigure module.

Semantic Conventions (alpha)

  • The SemanticAttributes and ResourceAttributes have both been updated to match the OpenTelemetry Specification v1.1.0 release. This includes a breaking changes to the constants defined in the ResourceAttributes class: ResourceAttributes.CLOUD_ZONE has been replaced with ResourceAttributes.CLOUD_AVAILABILITY_ZONE.

Metrics (alpha)

Breaking Changes

  • The ViewRegistry now lets you register View objects, rather than AggregatorFactory instances.
  • GlobalMetricsProvider has been renamed to GlobalMeterProvider.
  • View registration has been moved to the SdkMeterProviderBuilder and the methods on the SdkMeterProvider to add views have been deprecated. They will be removed in the next release.

Enhancements

  • A new option for aggregation as Histograms is now available.

Version 1.0.1 - 2021-03-11

Bugfixes

  • AWS resource extensions have been fixed to not throw NullPointerException in actual AWS environment

Version 1.0.0 - 2021-02-26

General

This releases marks the first stable release for the tracing, baggage and context APIs and the SDK. Please see the Versioning document for stability guarantees.

The best source of lsit of the now stable packages can be found in the opentelemetry-bom artifact in maven central.

Javadoc is available at javadoc.io. For example, javadoc.io for the API module.

Changes

  • The opentelemetry-proto module is now versioned as an alpha module, as it contains non-stable metrics and logs signals. It has hence been removed from the main BOM.
  • The opentelemetry-sdk-extension-otproto module has been removed. The classes in it have been moved to a new opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-common module but have been repackaged into an unsupported, internal package.

Metrics (alpha)

Breaking Changes

  • PrometheusCollector.Builder inner class has been moved to the top level as PrometheusCollectorBuilder.

Version 0.17.1 - 2021-02-19

  • Removed the unused ResourceProvider interface from the SDK. This interface is still available in the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure module, where it is actually used.

Version 0.17.0 - 2021-02-17 - RC#3

General

Note: In an effort to accelerate our work toward a 1.0.0 release, we have skipped the deprecation phase on a number of breaking changes. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. We are very aware that these changes will impact users. If you need assistance in migrating from previous releases, please open a discussion topic at https://github.com/opentelemetry/opentelemetry-java/discussions.

Many classes have been made final that previously were not. Please reach out if you have a need to provide extended functionality, and we can figure out how best to solve your use-case.

API

Breaking Changes

  • TraceStateBuilder.set(String, String) has been renamed to TraceStateBuilder.put(String, String).
  • BaggageBuilder.setParent() and BaggageBuilder.setNoParent() have been removed from the Baggage APIs. In addition, Baggage will no longer be implicitly generated from Baggage that is in the current context. You now must explicitly get the Baggage instance from the Context and call toBuilder() on it in order to get the entries pre-populated in your builder.
  • TextMapPropagator.Setter and TextMapPropagator.Getter have been moved to the top level and renamed to TextMapSetter and TextMapGetter respectively.
  • OpenTelemetry.getDefault() has been renamed to OpenTelemetry.noop().
  • OpenTelemetry.getPropagating() has been renamed to OpenTelemetry.propagating().
  • TracerProvider.getDefault() has been renamed to TracerProvider.noop()
  • Tracer.getDefault() has been removed.
  • TraceId.getTraceIdRandomPart(CharSequence) has been removed.
  • The B3Propagator.getInstance() has been renamed to B3Propagator.injectingSingleHeader().
  • The B3Propagator.builder() method has been removed. As a replacement, you can use B3Propagator.injectingMultiHeaders() directly.

SDK

Breaking Changes

  • The SPI for configuring Resource auto-populators has been removed from the SDK and moved to the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure module. This means that Resource.getDefault() will no longer be populated via SPI, but only include the bare minimum values from the SDK itself. In order to get the auto-configured Resource attributes, you will need to use the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure module directly.
  • InstrumentationLibraryInfo.getEmpty() has been renamed to InstrumentationLibraryInfo.empty().
  • Resource.getEmpty() has been renamed to Resource.empty().
  • When specifying the endpoints for grpc-based exporters, you now are required to specify the protocol. Hence, you must include the http:// or https:// in front of your endpoint.
  • The option on SpanLimits to truncate String-valued Span attributes has been removed (this is still pending in the specification).
  • The InMemoryMetricsExporter has been removed from the opentelemetry-sdk-testing module.

Miscellaneous

  • The default values for SpanLimits have been changed to 128, from 1000, to match the spec.

Extensions

Breaking Changes

  • In the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure module, we have changed the system property used to exclude some Resource auto-populators to be otel.java.disabled.resource-providers instead of otel.java.disabled.resource_providers.
  • In the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure module, you now specify the OtTracePropagator with the "ottrace" option, rather than "ottracer".
  • In the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure module, the default exporters are now set to be "otlp", as required by the 1.0.0 specification.
  • In the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure module, the default propagators are now set to be "tracecontext,baggage", as required by the 1.0.0 specification.
  • The CommonProperties class has been removed from the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-otproto module.

Metrics (alpha)

API

  • Meter.getDefault() has been removed.
  • MeterProvider.getDefault() has been renamed to MeterProvider.noop().

Version 0.16.0 - 2021-02-08 - RC#2

General

Note: In an effort to accelerate our work toward a 1.0.0 release, we have skipped the deprecation phase on a number of breaking changes. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. We are very aware that these changes will impact users. If you need assistance in migrating from previous releases, please open a discussion topic at https://github.com/opentelemetry/opentelemetry-java/discussions.

Breaking Changes

  • Methods and classes deprecated in 0.15.0 have been removed.

API

Breaking Changes

  • The Span.Kind enum has been moved to the top level, and named SpanKind.
  • DefaultOpenTelemetry is no longer a public class. If you need the functionality previously provided by this implementation, it can be accessed via new static methods on the OpenTelemetry interface itself.
  • The TraceFlags interface has been re-introduced. This is now used, rather than a bare byte wherever trace flags is used. In particular, SpanContext.create(), SpanContext.createFromRemoteParent() now require a TraceFlags instance, and SpanContext.getTraceFlags() returns a TraceFlags instance.
  • The names of static methods on TraceFlags have been normalized to match other similar classes, and now return TraceFlags instead of byte where appropriate.
  • The Labels interface and related classes have been moved into the alpha metrics modules and repackaged.
  • TraceId.copyHexInto(byte[] traceId, char[] dest, int destOffset) has been removed.
  • SpanContext.getTraceIdAsHexString() has been renamed to SpanContext.getTraceId()
  • SpanContext.getSpanIdAsHexString() has been renamed to SpanContext.getSpanId()
  • BaggageEntry.getEntryMetadata() has been renamed to BaggageEntry.getMetadata()
  • BaggageConsumer has been removed in favor of a standard java.util.function.BiConsumer<String, BaggageEntry>
  • TraceFlags.isSampledFromHex(CharSequence src, int srcOffset) has been removed.
  • SpanId and TraceId methods that had a String parameter now accept CharSequence and assume the id starts at the beginning.
  • SpanId.getSize() and TraceId.getSize() have been removed.
  • SpanId.bytesFromHex() has been removed.
  • SpanId.asLong(CharSequence) has been removed.
  • SpanId.asBytes(CharSequence) has been removed.
  • SpanId.getHexLength() has been renamed to SpanId.getLength()
  • SpanId.bytesToHex() has been renamed to SpanId.fromBytes()
  • TraceId.bytesFromHex() has been removed.
  • TraceId.traceIdLowBytesAsLong(CharSequence) has been removed.
  • TraceId.traceIdHighBytesAsLong(CharSequence) has been removed.
  • TraceId.asBytes(CharSequence) has been removed.
  • TraceId.getHexLength() has been renamed to TraceId.getLength()
  • TraceId.bytesToHex() has been renamed to TraceId.fromBytes()
  • StrictContextStorage has been made private. Use -Dio.opentelemetry.context.enableStrictContext=true` to enable it
  • AwsXrayPropagator has been moved to the opentelemetry-extension-aws artifact

Enhancements

  • The W3CTraceContextPropagator class now directly implements the TextMapPropagator interface.
  • The OpenTelemetry interface now has a getDefault() method which will return a completely no-op implementation.
  • The OpenTelmmetry interface now has a getPropagating(ContextPropagators propagators) method which will return an implementation that contains propagators, but is otherwise no-op.

Misc Notes

  • The internal StringUtils class has had metrics-related methods removed from it. But, you weren't using internal classes, were you?
  • The internal AbstractWeakConcurrentMap class has been made non-public. See the line above about internal classes.

Extensions

Breaking Changes

  • The OtTracerPropagator has been renamed to OtTracePropagator in the trace-propagators extension module.

SDK

Breaking Changes

  • TraceConfig has been renamed to SpanLimits and relocated to the io.opentelemetry.sdk.tracing package. All related method names have been renamed to match.
  • SpanData.getTraceState() has been removed. The TraceState is still available via the SpanContext accessor.
  • SpanData.isSampled() has been removed. The isSampled property is still available via the SpanContext accessor.

Enhancements

  • SpanData now directly exposes the underlying SpanContext instance.

SDK Extensions

Breaking Changes

  • In the opentelemetry-autoconfigure module, three environment variables/system properties have been renamed to match the spec:
    • OTEL_TRACE_EXPORTER/otel.trace.exporter has been replaced with OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER/otel.traces.exporter
    • OTEL_TRACE_SAMPLER/otel.trace.sampler has been replaced with OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER/otel_traces_sampler
    • OTEL_TRACE_SAMPLER_ARG/otel.trace.sampler.arg has been replaced with OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER_ARG/otel.traces.sampler.arg

Enhancements

  • The opentelemetry-autoconfigure module now supports using non-millisecond values for duration & interval configuration options. See the javadoc on the io.opentelemetry.sdk.autoconfigure.ConfigProperties.getDuration(String) method for details on supported formats.
  • The opentelemetry-autoconfigure module now provides automatic SPI-based parsing of the OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES env var (and the corresponding otel.resource.attributes system property). If you include this module on your classpath, it will automatically update the Resource.getDefault() instance with that configuration.

Metrics (alpha)

API

  • The Labels interface has been moved into the metrics API module and repackaged into the io.opentelemetry.api.metrics.common package.

Version 0.15.0 - 2021-01-29 - RC#1

General

Breaking Changes

  • Methods and classes deprecated in 0.14.x have been removed.

Semantic Conventions

The opentelemetry-semconv module has been marked as -alpha and removed from the bom. This was done because the OpenTelemetry project has not decided on a specification for stability of semantic conventions or the specific telemetry produced by instrumentation.

Deprecations

  • The items in the io.opentelemetry.semconv.trace.attributes.SemanticAttributes which were previously generated form the Resource semantic conventions have been deprecated. Please use the ones in the new io.opentelemetry.semconv.resource.attributes.ResourceAttributes class.

Enhancements

  • A new io.opentelemetry.semconv.resource.attributes.ResourceAttributes has been introduced to hold the generated semantic attributes to be used in creating Resources.

SDK

Breaking Changes

  • SamplingResult.Decision has been removed in favor of the io.opentelemetry.sdk.trace.samplers.SamplingDecision top-level class.
  • Resource.merge(Resource) now will resolve conflicts by preferring the Resource passed in, rather than the original.
  • The default Resource (accessible via Resource.getDefault()) now includes a fallback service.name attribute. The implication of this is that exporters that have configured fallback service names will only use them if the SDK is intentionally configured with a Resource that does not utilize the default Resource for its underlying Resource data.
  • The Sampler is now specified when building the SdkTracerProvider directly, rather than being a part of the TraceConfig.

Bugfixes

  • The Jaeger exporters will now properly populate the process service name from the Resource service.name attribute.

Deprecations

  • Going forward, OTLP exporter endpoint specifications must include a scheme, either http:// or https://. We will support endpoints without schemes until the next release, at which point not providing a scheme will generate an error when trying to use them. This applies to the use of system properties, environment variables, or programmatic specifications of the endpoints.
  • The exportOnlySampled configuration of the BatchSpanProcessor has been deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
  • The io.opentelemetry.sdk.resources.ResourceAttributes has been deprecated and will be removed in the next release. Please use the new io.opentelemetry.semconv.resource.attributes.ResourceAttributes class in the opentelemetry-semconv module.
  • The serviceName configuration option for the Jaeger and Zipkin exporters has been deprecated. In the next release, those configuration options will be removed, and the fallback service.name will always be pulled from the default Resource.

Enhancements

  • Resource.getDefault() now includes a fallback service.name attribute. Exporters that require a service.name should acquire the fallback from the default resource, rather than having it configured in.

SDK Extensions

Breaking Changes

  • The otel.bsp.schedule.delay.millis env var/system property configuration option for the batch span processor has been renamed to otel.bsp.schedule.delay to match the specification.
  • The otel.bsp.export.timeout.millis env var/system property configuration option for the batch span processor has been renamed to otel.bsp.export.timeout to match the specification.

Enhancements

  • The opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure module will now additionally register the auto-configured SDK as the instance of GlobalOpenTelemetry when used.
  • The opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure module now supports the otel.exporter.otlp.certificate configuration property for specifying a path to a trusted certificate for the OTLP exporters.

Version 0.14.1 - 2021-01-14

General

  • Several more modules have been updated to have -alpha appended on their versions:
    • opentelemetry-sdk-extension-jfr-events
    • opentelemetry-sdk-extension-async-processor
    • opentelemetry-sdk-extension-logging
    • opentelemetry-sdk-extension-zpages
    • opentelemetry-sdk-exporter-prometheus
    • opentelemetry-sdk-exporter-tracing-incubator
    • opentelemetry-opentracing-shim
    • opentelemetry-opencensus-shim

API

Breaking Changes

  • Code that was deprecated in 0.13.0 has been removed from the project.
    • Metrics interfaces are no longer available as a part of the opentelemetry-pom or from the opentelemetry-api modules. To access the alpha metrics APIs, you will need to explicitly add them as a dependency.
    • OpenTelemetry.setPropagators() has been removed. You should instead create your OpenTelemetry implementations with the Propagators preset, via the various builder options. For example, use DefaultOpenTelemetry.builder().setPropagators(propagators).build() to configure your no-sdk implementation.
    • The OpenTelemetry.builder() and the OpenTelemetryBuilder interface have been removed. The builder functionality is now only present on individual implementations of OpenTelemetry. For instance, the DefaultOpenTelemetry class has a builder available.

Deprecations

  • The SemanticAttributes class has been moved to a new module: opentelemetry-semconv and repackaged into a new package: io.opentelemetry.semconv.trace.attributes. The old SemanticAttributes class will be removed in the next release.
  • The SPI interfaces for OpenTelemetry have been deprecated. We are moving to a new auto-configuration approach with the new SDK auto-configuration module: io.opentelemetry.sdk.autoconfigure. This module should be considered the officially supported auto-configuration library moving forward.

Enhancements

  • The SemanticAttributes have been updated to the latest version of the specification, as of January 7th, 2021.

SDK

Bugfixes

  • Environment variables/system properties that are used to set extra headers for the OTLP exporters have been fixed to now split on commas, rather than semicolons. This has been brought in line with the specification for these environment variables. This includes otel.exporter.otlp.span.headers, otel.exporter.otlp.metric.headers, and otel.exporter.otlp.headers.
  • Passing a null span name when creating a span will no longer cause a NullPointerException. Instead, a default span name will be provided in place of the missing name.

Breaking Changes

  • The deprecated SpanData.Link.getContext() method has been removed in favor of SpanData.Link.getSpanContext().
  • The TracerProviderFactorySdk SPI class has been renamed to SdkTracerProviderFactory.
  • The OpenTelemetrySdkBuilder.build() method has been renamed to OpenTelemetrySdkBuilder.buildAndRegisterGlobal(). The build() method still exists, but no longer sets the instance on the GlobalOpenTelemetry when invoked.
  • The SdkTracerManagement.shutdown() method now returns CompletableResultCode which can be used to wait asynchronously for shutdown to complete.
  • The sampling.probability sampling attribute previously generated by the TraceIdRatioBasedSampler is no longer generated, as it was not conformant with the specifications.
  • The SpanData inner classes have been moved to the top level, so SpanData.Link -> LinkData, SpanData.Event -> EventData and SpanData.Status -> StatusData.

Deprecations

  • SdkTracerProvider.updateActiveTraceConfig() and SdkTracerProvider.addSpanProcessor() have been deprecated. The methods will be removed in the next release.
  • All existing auto-configuration mechanisms have been deprecated in favor of using the new io.opentelemetry.sdk.autoconfigure module. The existing ones will be removed in the next release.
  • The methods with the term "deadline" has been deprecated in the configuration of the grpc-based exporters (OTLP and Jaeger) in favor of the word "timeout". The deadline-named methods will be removed in the next release.
  • The StringUtils class in the opentelemetry-extension-trace-propagators extension module has been deprecated and will be made non-public in the next release.
  • The StatusData.isUnset() and StatusData.isOk() methods have been deprecated. They will be removed in the next release.

Enhancements

  • The OtlpGrpcSpanExporter now supports setting trusted TLS certificates for secure communication with the collector.
  • A new module for supporting auto-configuration of the SDK has been added. The new module, io.opentelemetry.sdk.autoconfigure will be the new path for auto-configuration of the SDK, including via SPI, environment variables and system properties.
  • The TraceConfig class now exposes a builder() method directly, so you don't need to get the default then call toBuilder() on it.
  • The OTLP protobuf definitions were updated to the latest released version: 0.7.0. Both the Span and (alpha) Metric exporters were updated to match.
  • Timeouts in the exporters can now be specified with java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit and java.time.Duration based configurations, rather than requiring milliseconds.

SDK Extensions

Breaking Changes

  • The ZPages extension now exposes its SpanProcessor implementation. To use it, you will need to add it to your SDK implementation directly, rather than it adding itself to the global SDK instance.
  • The JaegerRemoteSampler builder patterns have been changed and updated to more closely match the rest of the builders in the project.

Deprecations

  • The AwsXrayIdGenerator constructor has been deprecated in favor of using a simple getInstance() singleton, since it has no state.
  • The TraceProtoUtils class in the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-otproto module has been deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

Bugfixes

  • The JaegerRemoteSampler now uses the ParentBased sampler as the basis for any sampling that is done.

Metrics (alpha)

SDK:

  • The InstrumentSelector.newBuilder() method has been renamed to InstrumentSelector.builder() and the methods on the Builder have changed to use the same naming patterns as the rest of the project.
  • The MeterProviderFactorySdk class has been renamed to SdkMeterProviderFactory.
  • The SdkMeterProvicer.Builder has been moved to the top level SdkMeterProviderBuilder.
  • The InstrumentSelector now requires an instrument type to be provided, and defaults the name regex to .*.

Version 0.13.0 - 2020-12-17

General

  • Starting with 0.13.0, all unstable modules (the 2 metrics modules for now) will have a -alpha appended to their base version numbers to make it clear they are not production ready, and will not be when we get to releasing 1.0. See our Rationale document for details.

API

Breaking Changes

  • The Labels.ArrayBackedLabelsBuilder class has been made non-public. You can still access the LabelsBuilder functionality via the Labels.builder() method.
  • Methods deprecated in the 0.12.0 release have been removed or made non-public:
    • The HttpTraceContext class has been removed.
    • The toBuilder() method on the OpenTelemetry interface has been removed.
    • The Attributes.builder(Attributes) method has been removed in favor of Attributes.toBuilder(Attributes).
    • The DefaultContextPropagators class has made non-public.
    • The TraceMultiPropagator builder has been removed in favor of a simple factory method.
    • The value() method on the StatusCode enum has been removed.
    • The Baggage EntryMetadata class has been removed in favor of the BaggageEntryMetadata interface.
    • The setCallback() method on the asynchronous metric instruments has been removed.
  • Several public classes have been made final.

Enhancements

  • An asMap method has been added to the Labels interface, to expose them as a java.util.Map.
  • You can now enable strict Context verification via a system property (-Dio.opentelemetry.context.enableStrictContext=true) Enabling this mode will make sure that all Scopes that are created are closed, and generate log messages if they are not closed before being garbage collected. This mode of operation is CPU intensive, so be careful before enabling it in high-throughput environments that do not need this strict verification. See the javadoc on the io.opentelemetry.context.Context interface for details.
  • Several of the methods on the Span interface have been given default implementations.
  • The Semantic Attributes constants have been updated to the version in the yaml spec as of Dec 14, 2020.

Miscellaneous

  • The Metrics API has been deprecated in the opentelemetry-api module, in preparation for releasing a fully-stable 1.0 version of that module. The Metrics API will be removed from the module in the next release.
  • The API has been broken into separate modules, in preparation for the 1.0 release of the tracing API. If you depend on the opentelemetry-api module, you should get the rest of the API modules as transitive dependencies.
  • The OpenTelemetry.builder() and the OpenTelemetryBuilder interface have been deprecated and will be removed in the next release. The builder functionality is now only present on individual implementations of OpenTelemetry. For instance, the DefaultOpenTelemetry class has a builder available.
  • The OpenTelemetry.setPropagators() has been deprecated and will be removed in the next release. You should instead create your OpenTelemetry implementations with the Propagators preset, via the various builder options. For example, use DefaultOpenTelemetry.builder().setPropagators(propagators).build() to configure your no-sdk implementation.

SDK

Miscellaneous

  • The SpanData.Link.getContext() method has been deprecated in favor of a new SpanData.Link.getSpanContext(). The deprecated method will be removed in the next release of the SDK.
  • The internals of the (alpha) Metrics SDK have been significantly updated.
  • OTLP adapter classes have been moved into the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-otproto module so they can be shared across OTLP usages.
  • The zipkin exporter has been updated to have its error code handling match the spec.
  • The logging exporter's format has changed to something slightly more human-readable.

Breaking Changes

  • Many SDK classes have been renamed to be prefixed with Sdk rather than having Sdk being embedded in the middle of the name. For example, TracerSdk has been renamed to SdkTracer and TracerSdkManagement has been renamed to SdkTracerManagement.
  • The ResourcesConfig.builder() method has been made non-public.
  • The TraceConfig.Builder class has been moved to the top-level TraceConfigBuilder class.
  • The built-in exporter Builder classes have been moved to the top level, rather than inner classes. Access to the builders is still available via builder() methods on the exporter classes.
  • The built-in SpanProcessor Builder classes have been moved to the top level, rather than inner classes. Access to the builders is still available via builder() methods on the SpanProcessor implementation classes.
  • The built-in ParentBasedSampler Builder class has been moved to the top level, rather than inner classes. Access to the builder is still available via methods on the Sampler interface.
  • The DaemonThreadFactory class has been moved to an internal module and should not be used outside of this repository.
  • The builder class for the OpenTelemetrySdk class has been slimmed down. The configurable details have been moved into the specific provider builders, where they apply more specifically and obviously.
  • Many public classes have been made final.
  • The MetricExporter interface's shutdown() method now returns CompletableResultCode rather than void.
  • The OpenTelemetrySdk's builder class has been moved to the top level, rather than being an inner class. It has been renamed to OpenTelemetrySdkBuilder as a part of that change.
  • The OTLP exporters have been split into two separate modules, and the metrics exporter has been tagged with the -alpha version. If you continue to depend on the opentelemetry-exporters-otlp module, you will only get the trace exporter as a transitive dependency.

Extensions

Bugfixes

  • The opentelemetry-extension-annotations module now includes the api module as an api dependency, rather than just implementation.

Breaking Changes

  • The deprecated trace-utils module has been removed.
  • Several public classes have been made final.

Enhancements

  • Some common OTLP adapter utilities have been moved into the opentelemetry-sdk-extension-otproto module so they can be shared across OTLP exporters.

Version 0.12.0 - 2020-12-04

API

Bugfixes

  • Usages of tracers and meters on all OpenTelemetry instances were being delegated to the global Meter and Tracer. This has been corrected, and all instances should have independent Tracer and Meter instances.

Breaking Changes

  • The AttributesBuilder no long accepts null values for array-valued attributes with numeric or boolean types.
  • The TextMapPropagator.fields() method now returns a Collection rather than a List.
  • Labels has been converted to an interface, from an abstract class. Its API has otherwise remained the same.
  • TraceState has been converted to an interface, from an abstract class. Its API has otherwise remained the same.
  • Attributes has been converted to an interface, from an abstract class. Its API has otherwise remained the same.
  • The ReadableAttributes interface has been removed, as it was redundant with the Attributes interface. All APIs that used or returned ReadableAttributes should accept or return standard Attributes implementations.
  • SpanContext has been converted to an interface, from an abstract class. Its API has otherwise remained the same.
  • The functional AttributeConsumer interface has been removed and replaced with a standard java.util.function.BiConsumer.
  • The signature of the BaggageBuilder.put(String, String, EntryMetadata entryMetadata) method has been changed to put(String, String, BaggageEntryMetadata)

Enhancements

  • A builder() method has been added to the OpenTelemetry interface to facilitate constructing implementations.
  • An asMap() method has been added to the Attributes interface to enable conversion to a standard java.util.Map.
  • An asMap() method has been added to the Baggage interface to enable conversion to a standard java.util.Map.
  • An asMap() method has been added to the TraceState interface to enable conversion to a standard java.util.Map.
  • The Semantic Attributes constants have been updated to the version in the yaml spec as of Dec 1, 2020.

Miscellaneous

  • The toBuilder() method on the OpenTelemetry interface has been deprecated and will be removed in 0.13.0.
  • The DefaultContextPropagators class has been deprecated. Access to it will be removed in 0.13.0.
  • The TraceMultiPropagator builder has been deprecated in favor of a simple factory method. The builder will be removed in 0.13.0. You can access the same functionality via static methods on the ContextPropagators interface.
  • The setCallback() method on the asynchronous metric instruments has been deprecated and will be removed in 0.13.0. Instead, use the setCallback() method on the builder for the instruments.
  • The value() method on the StatusCode enum has been deprecated and will be removed in 0.13.0.
  • The Baggage EntryMetadata class has been deprecated in favor of the BaggageEntryMetadata interface. The class will be made non-public in 0.13.0.

Extensions

  • The opentelemetry-extension-runtime-metrics module has been deprecated. The functionality is available in the opentelemetry-java-instrumentation project under a different module name. The module here will be removed in 0.13.0.
  • The trace-utils module has been deprecated. If you need this module, please let us know! The module will be removed in 0.13.0.

SDK

Breaking Changes

  • The opentelemetry-sdk-tracing module has been renamed to opentelemetry-sdk-trace.
  • The default port the OTLP exporters use has been changed to 4317.
  • The deprecated SpanData.getCanonicalCode() method has been removed, along with the implementations.

Enhancements

  • The SpanData.hasRemoteParent() method has been deprecated and will be removed in 0.13.0. If you need this information, you can now call SpanData.getParentSpanContext().isRemote().
  • The default timeouts for the 2 OTLP exporters and the Jaeger exporter have been changed to 10s from 1s.

Extensions

Breaking Changes

  • The opentelemetry-sdk-extension-aws-v1-support module has been renamed to opentelemetry-sdk-extension-aws and the classes in it have been repackaged into the io.opentelemetry.sdk.extension.aws.* packages.

Bugfixes:

Enhancements

  • The opentelemetry-sdk-extension-resources now includes resource attributes for the process runtime via the ProcessRuntimeResource class. This is included in the Resource SPI implementation that the module provides.
  • The opentelemetry-sdk-extension-aws extension now will auto-detect AWS Lambda resource attributes.

Version 0.11.0 - 2020-11-18

API

Breaking changes:

  • The SPI interfaces have moved to a package (not a module) separate from the API packages, and now live in io.opentelemetry.spi.* package namespace.
  • Builder classes have been moved to the top level, rather than being inner classes. For example, rather than io.opentelemetry.api.trace.Span.Builder, the builder is now in its own top-level class: io.opentelemetry.api.trace.SpanBuilder. Methods to create the builders remain in the same place as they were before.
  • SpanBuilder.setStartTimestamp, Span.end, and Span.addEvent methods which accept a timestamp now accept a timestamp with a TimeUnit instead of requiring a nanos timestamp.

Enhancements:

  • Versions of SpanBuilder.setStartTimestamp, Span.end, and Span.addEvent added which accept Instant timestamps
  • Setting the value of the io.opentelemetry.context.contextStorageProvider System property to default will enforce that the default (thread local) ContextStorage will be used for the Context implementation, regardless of what SPI implementations are available.

Miscellaneous:

  • Invalid W3C TraceState entries will now be silently dropped, rather than causing the invalidation of the entire TraceState.

SDK

Breaking Changes:

  • The builder class for the OpenTelemetrySdk now strictly requires its components to be SDK implementations. You can only build an OpenTelemetrySdk with TracerSdkProvider and MeterSdkProvider instances.

Enhancements:

  • An API has been added to the SDK's MeterProvider implementation (MeterSdkProvider) that allows the end-user to configure how various metrics will be aggregated. This API should be considered a precursor to a full "Views" API, and will most likely evolve over the coming months before the metrics implementation is complete. See the javadoc for MeterSdkProvider.registerView() for details.

Miscellaneous:

  • The SpanProcessor interface now includes default method implementations for the shutdown() and forceFlush() methods.
  • The BatchRecorder implementation has been updated to actually batch the recordings, rather than simply passing them through.

Extensions

Breaking Changes:

  • The @WithSpan annotation has been moved to the io.opentelemetry.extension.annotations package in the opentelemetry-extension-annotations module

Bugfixes:

  • The memory pool metrics provided by the MemoryPools class in the opentelemetry-extension-runtime-metrics module have been fixed to properly report the committed memory values.

Enhancements:

  • A new module has been added to assist with propagating the OTel context in kotlin co-routines. See the opentelemetry-extension-kotlin module for details.

Version 0.10.0 - 2020-11-06

API

Enhancements

  • The W3C Baggage Propagator is now available.
  • The B3 Propagator now handles both single and multi-header formats.
  • The B3 Propagator defaults to injecting the single B3 header, rather than the multi-header format.
  • Mutating a method on Span now returns the Span to enable call-chaining.

Bug fixes

  • The package-info file was removed from the io.otel.context package because it made the project incompatible with JPMS.

Breaking changes

  • There have been many updates to the semantic conventions constants. The constants are now auto-generated from the YAML specification files, so the names will now be consistent across languages. For more information, see the YAML Model for Semantic Conventions.
  • All API classes have been moved into the io.opentelemetry.api. prefix to support JPMS users.
  • The API no longer uses the grpc-context as the context implementation. It now uses io.opentelemetry.context.Context. This is published in the opentelemetry-context artifact. Interactions with the context were mostly moved to static methods in the Span and Baggage interfaces.
  • The Baggage API has been reworked to more closely match the specification. This includes the removal of the BaggageManager. Baggage is fully functional within the API, without needing to install an SDK.
  • TracingContextUtils and BaggageUtils were removed from the public API. Instead, use the appropriate static methods on the Span and Baggage classes, or use methods on the Context itself.
  • The context propagation APIs have moved into the new opentelemetry-context context module.
  • DefaultSpan was removed from the public API. Instead, use Span.wrap(spanContext) if you need a non-functional span that propagates the trace context.
  • DefaultMeter, DefaultMeterProvider, DefaultTracer and DefaultTracerProvider were removed from the public API. You can access the same functionality with getDefault() methods on the Meter, MeterProvider, Tracer, and TracerProvider` classes, respectively.
  • Some functionality from the Tracer interface is now available either on the Span interface or Context interface.
  • The OpenTelemetry class is now an interface, with implementations. Methods on this interface have changed their names to reflect this change. For more information, see OpenTelemetry.java.
  • All builder-creation methods have been renamed to .builder().
  • StatusCanonicalCode has been renamed to StatusCode.
  • Span.getContext() has been renamed to Span.getSpanContext().
  • AttributesBuilder now uses put instead of add as the method name for adding attributes.
  • All parameters are now marked as non-nullable by default.
  • TextMapPropagators could receive a null carrier passed to the extract method.
  • The TextMapPropagator.Getter interface has added a method to return the keys that the propagator uses.

SDK

Enhancements

  • A new MetricData gauge metric type is now available.
  • A new opentelemetry-sdk-testing module with a JUnit 5 extension to assist with testing is now available.
  • The Prometheus metric exporter now consumes gauge metrics.
  • The Jaeger gRPC exporter now maps Resource entries to process tags.
  • The OTLP protobuf definitions were updated to the latest released version: 0.6.0. Both the Span and Metric exporters were updated to match.
  • The Sampler interface now allows a Sampler implementation to update the TraceState that is applied to the SpanContext for the resulting span.

Breaking changes

  • TraceConfig configuration option names (environment variables and system properties) were renamed to match the OpenTelemetery Specification. For more information, see TraceConfig.
  • The Jaeger gRPC exporter was updated to match the OpenTelemetry Specification. The message log entry attribute has been renamed to event and a new dropped attributes count attribute was added. For more information, see the Overview.
  • The SpanData.getHasRemoteParent() and SpanData.getHasEnded() methods were renamed to hasRemoteParent() and hasEnded(), respectively.
  • The IdsGenerator interface has been renamed to IdGenerator, and all implementations and relevant factory methods were similarly renamed.
  • The RandomIdGenerator is now accessible via a factory method on the IdGenerator class, rather than being exposed itself. Use IdGenerator.random() to acquire an instance.
  • The OTLP metric exporter now emits gauge metrics where appropriate.
  • ValueObserver instruments now generate gauge metrics, rather than non-monotonic counter-style metrics.
  • ValueObserver instruments now use the LastValue aggregation instead of MinMaxSumCount.
  • The SpanData.* implementation classes were removed from the public SDK, but the interfaces are still available.
  • SpanProcessor.onStart now takes a Context as its first parameter.
  • The Sampler interface now takes a parent Context rather than a SpanContext.
  • Each Sampler has been reorganized into their own classes and moved into the io.opentelemetry.sdk.trace.samplers package. Factory methods that used to be on the Samplers class were moved to the Sampler interface.

Extensions

Enhancements

  • A new JUnit5 extension was added for writing tests. For more information, see OpenTelemetryExtension.java.
  • A Jaeger SpanExporter which exports via the thrift-over-http protocol is now available.
  • A Jaeger Propagator is now available.

Breaking changes

  • The in-memory exporter(s) have been moved to the opentelemetry-sdk-testing artifact.
  • The OpenTracing shim factory class has been renamed from TraceShim to OpenTracingShim. The factory methods have changed because BaggageManager was removed and non-global OpenTelemetry instances are now available.
  • The 's' was removed from the word "exporters" for every exporter artifact. For example, opentelemetry-exporters-logging was renamed to opentelemetry-exporter-logging.
  • The 's' was removed from the word "extensions" for the package for every SDK extension. For example, io.opentelemetry.sdk.extensions.otproto.TraceProtoUtils was renamed to io.opentelemetry.sdk.extension.otproto.TraceProtoUtils.
