Clarify attributes parameter type of Get a Logger operation
From https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/logs/bridge-api.md#get-a-logger:
attributes(optional): Specifies the instrumentation scope attributes to associate with emitted telemetry. This API MUST be structured to accept a variable number of attributes, including none.
-
Attributes of what type are these? Log attributes or common attributes? My guess is that these are "common attributes" but should be clearly defined by the specification.
-
What the implementation should with the provided attributes? Shouldn't the data model for instrumentation scope be updated to also contain the attributes? See OTLP defintion and glossary definition. I think it is a bug in the specification.
