How is validation implemented for instrumentations?

[codeboten]

Instrumentations may need to define their own configuration options and validations. How can this be included? Should this just be a known limitation for this OTEP?

After a follow up discussion, this is true for any custom component. For example a custom exporter may need to run its own validation on the configuration. The question is what does this look like for any component? Is there a generic Validateable interface that should be defined here?

Can we say that optional components can register some validation callback or something with the SDK, and SDK will invoke that function while validating components known to it; otherwise, no validation will be performed for custom components?
