Motivation

FLIP-384 is adding TraceReporter interface. With just that FLIP, Log4jTraceReporter would be the only available implementation of TraceReporter interface, which is not very helpful.

In this FLIP I’m proposing to contribute both MetricExporter and TraceReporter implementation using OpenTelemetry.

Public Interfaces / Proposed Changes

This flip proposes to add OpenTelemetryMetricReporterFactory and OpenTelemetryTraceReporterFactory factories, that would be both available in the newly added plugin flink-metrics/flink-metrics-otel (similar structure as pre-existing MetricReporters like flink-metrics-jmx).

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

There will be no impact on existing users, there is no need for any migration.

Test Plan

On top of automated tests, this feature is already used and tested inside Confluent. Before committing the final accepted version would be tested inside Confluent again.
