A nice-to-have that I've wanted from working with this SDK on personal projects.
Otel, for very very good reason, periodically batches telemetry before sending it upstream. When I'm writing short-lived command line apps, I need to .shutdown() the otel sdk before exiting the process.
But shutdown is only a method on the OpenTelemetrySdk, not OpenTelemetry, so I have to (gasp) cast it to the right type because I looked at the source code and could see that we return one of those.
I don't know enough Java to know if this is a big no-no, but as a user this would be appreciated ❤️
