Propagate deadline through OTel-Arrow components

Open jmacd opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

The exporter should propagate the deadline of the caller into the received context. The receiver should optionally apply the callers context or possibly ignore it but set a preconfigured deadline for the consumer call. Otherwise, we are calling the OTel pipeline without any deadline, which is dangerous.

This can be done using the existing header propagation mechanism.
