Remove unused packages #52

Closed djaglowski closed 3 years ago

djaglowski commented 3 years ago

There are several packages that are not planned to be used in the open telemetry collector. It would streamline upkeep and benefit developer experience if these packages were to be removed.

If any are found to be useful at a later time, they can be retrieved from git history.

These packages include:

[x] buffers - previously used in output operators
[x] flushers - previously used in output operators
[x] hostmetadata - should be done by a processor
[x] k8smetadata - should be done by a processor
[x] ratelimit - should be done by a processor

Additionally, the k8sevent module (go.mod only - not the package) can be removed to reduce multi-module management overhead.
