Define requirement levels for metrics and their meaning #3176

Open arminru opened 1 year ago

arminru commented 1 year ago

Similar to the definition for attribute requirement levels in https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/common/attribute-requirement-level.md, we should also define the requirement levels for metrics.

Once a definition is added, we should link to it from https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/metrics/semantic_conventions/http-metrics.md (added in #3158) and the other places.

@arminru what do you think is remaining for this issue? and do you think those things are stability blockers? thx!

removing as an HTTP semconv stability blocker, let me know if you think there are parts of this that should still be considered a semconv stability blocker, thx!
