In Jaeger Thrift Exporter, send "common tags" to process tags field

Before opening a feature request against this repo, consider whether the feature should/could be implemented in the other OpenTelemetry client libraries. If so, please open an issue on opentelemetry-specification first.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

We are using Jaeger Thrift Exporter and in Jaeger, we would like to have the separation between "tags" and "processTags" . I know that the difference is no more present in Opentelemetry .

Describe the solution you'd like I see 2 methods to do that :

  • Use resources tags
    • put the span attributes in tags (as currently)
    • put the resources attributes to process tags (while currently it is sent to tags)
  • Set the process tags in the Jaeger Exporter Constructor

Additional context I would like your advice about the solution that could be accepted and then I can do a PR to implement it
