OpenTelemetry - OpenTracing Shim

The OpenTracing shim is a bridge layer from OpenTelemetry to the OpenTracing API. It takes OpenTelemetry Tracer and exposes it as an implementation of an OpenTracing Tracer.

Usage

There are 2 ways to expose an OpenTracing tracer:

1. From the global OpenTelemetry configuration:

   Tracer tracer = TraceShim.createTracerShim();

2. From the provided TracerProvider and CorrelationContextManager:

   Tracer tracer = TraceShim.createTracerShim(tracerProvider, contextManager);

Optionally register the tracer as the OpenTracing GlobalTracer:

GlobalTracer.registerIfAbsent(tracer);
