Azure-sdk-for-java: [FEATURE REQ] Add support for latest OpenTelemetry versions to Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Exporter client library for Java

[Storm-cat]

Currently Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Exporter client library for Java cannot be used with Spring Cloud Sleuth due to OpenTelemetry version problem.

As described in this SO answer, Sleuth supports OpenTelemetry since version 3.0.0-M5, which uses OpenTelemetry version 0.10. However opentelemetry-exporters-azuremonitor:1.0.0-beta.1 depends on OpenTelemetry version 0.8.0.

Because of this Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Exporter client library for Java cannot be used with Spring Cloud Sleuth. The solution would be to update Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Exporter client library for Java to depend on OpenTelemetry 0.10 or newer.

Fyi, the current version as of today is 0.13.1, that's what the current latest version of Spring Cloud Sleuth supports.

Thanks for filing this @Storm-cat. We'll patch this as part of our next regular monthly release cycle.

Hey @jonatan-ivanov and @Storm-cat., this is already in progress, https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/pull/18534.

[jonatan-ivanov]

@samvaity The target is moving, now the latest is 0.14.1.

[jonatan-ivanov]

@Storm-cat I released spring-cloud-sleuth-otel:1.0.0-M3 which also supports OTel 0.14.1: https://github.com/spring-cloud-incubator/spring-cloud-sleuth-otel/releases/tag/v1.0.0-M3

[Storm-cat]

It seems that Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Exporter client library for Java still depends on OpenTelemetry version 0.8.0. Is there any information when this will be updated? I assume I have to wait for the next release?

[samvaity]

@Storm-cat yes, the next release of Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Exporter client library for Java should have the updated dependency for OpenTelemetry 0.14.1.

The next release should be out this week.
