Deprecate semconv module #5786

jack-berg · 2023-09-01T17:23:42Z

Semantic convention generated classes have moved to open-telemetry/semantic-conventions-java and published its version first: io.opentelemetry.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv:1.21.0-alpha.

Should we include the new io.opentelemetry.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv artifact in the bom? I think yes.

I think yes. Including it means a smaller impact (none?) to users, right?

Not none because the artifact coordinates change from io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-semconv to io.opentelemetry.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv.

There is some complexity with this resulting from the core component dependencies on semconv. For example, opentelemetry-sdk-common depends on semconv for resource attributes which are included by default. Suppose someone is using an old version of the sdk which relies on io.opentelemetry.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv:1.21.0-alpha, but separately wants to bring in a future semconv version 1.30.0-alpha to produce new telemetry with new semantic conventions. And suppose between versions 1.21.0-alpha and 1.30.0-alpha we make breaking changes to the semconv code generation format which break opentelemetry-sdk-common. The user is essentially forced to either update to a later version of the SDK, or downgrade to a old version of semconv.

My take away from this is:

We should be careful about breaking changes to code generation logic in io.opentelemetry.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv, even while we still publish alpha artifacts and are allowed to make breaking changes

We should try to produce a stable io.opentelemetry.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv sooner than later, to avoid the temptation / footgun of making breaking changes

I agree with opentelemetry-semconv being included in the bom.

We spoke in the 9/7 Java SIG about this and concluded that we want to completely decouple this repository from semantic-conventions-java. This means inlining all current references to semantic conventions, and not including io.opentelemetry.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv in the bom.

There's too much opportunity for version conflict given the instability of io.opentelemetry.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv and the likelihood of breaking changes, either stemming from changes to code gen logic or from changes to semantic-conventions.

We are planning to include the semconv module in the instrumentation bom though.

We are planning to include the semconv module in the instrumentation bom though.

Playing devil's advocate here... Wouldn't that open the door for inconsistencies and introduce further instabilities in the alpha bom?
I say that because I import both... always.

The instrumentation bom is different because the instrumentation apis are actually coupled to the conventions of a particular version. Its not reasonable to use a version of the instrumentation API built for a particular version of semantic conventions with a different version.

do we have any common exporter module this could be put into? Probably not a big deal, but seeing the same key repeated over and over for every exporter is a little weird.

Sort of.. there's :exporters:common, which works for :exporters:zipkin and :exporter:jaeger, but not for :exporters:jaeger-thrift. And that would only cover the duplicate references in the exporters. The other references to service.name would have to use something like :sdk:common as the common dependency, which wouldn't be terrible but not my favorite.

We can always revisit this later since its just an implementation detail.

Thanks!

I really fail to see how this can be an improvement.
Overall, not providing an artefact with semantic conventions, even if not complete or perfectly aligned with the spec is a devolution.
Are we really expecting someone to change the convention for service.name? There has to be a subset that is considered stable.

There is an artifact with semantic conventions: io.opentelemetry.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv:1.21.0-alpha

There are a few semantic conventions which are stable, but the tooling for semantic-conventions-java (previously in this repo but deprecated as of this PR) isn't currently able to differentiate between stable / unstable. As a consequence, the whole artifact is marked as alpha, and has the ability to make breaking changes to the code generation logic.

If the code in this repository adds a dependency on io.opentelemetyr.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv and imports a constant, then later an (allowed) breaking change occurs which moves the location of that constant, users will have to deal with a version conflict:

app depends on opentelemetry-exporter-zipkin:1.30.0 which depends on opentelemetry-semconv:1.21.0-alpha

app depends on opentelemetry-semconv:1.25.0, which made a breaking change to the code generation logic

user must choose to upgrade to a later version of opentelemetry-exporter-zipkin which shares the opentelemetry-semconv:1.25.0 version, or downgrade opentelemetry-semconv to 1.21.0-alpha.

This wouldn't be a problem is io.opentelemetry.semconv:opentelemetry-semconv is stable, but there are open problems to work through before thats possible (see #22, #6, #5).

When there is a stable artifact, we can consume that in this repository without worrying that we'll create potential dependency conflicts in the future. But for now, its perfectly safe for these repos to inline the attributes they need. They're just strings after all.

It's just that I had recently replaced all the string in Quarkus by these conventions and now they will vanish...
I guess I need to get the conventions anyway from somewhere.
Using strings for this can lead to insidious bugs.

Going to go ahead and merge to proceed with the release. This is low impact at the moment since all the changes are internal and do not impact users. We can go back and change these implementation details later if needed. The exception is that io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-semconv is deprecated, which is unlikely to change.

The artifact has been moved (see open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java#5786). As we are not using it at the moment, remove the dependency rather than adjusting it to use the new group id.
