Handle partial success responses from OTLP export services

Open jmacd opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Problem Statement

Following the specification change to add partial success responses, each OTel SDK is encouraged to handle the resulting error message string in an appropriate way, considering existing norms. This requires OTLP v0.19.

Proposed Solution

For each of the Export*ServiceRequest methods used by OTLP Trace and Metrics exporters, construct an error and call the appropriate handler with the error message string and the number of spans/points(/logs) dropped. Future OTel specifications may call for optional treatment of the number of dropped items, but presently that is just additional information to include in the handled error.
