Propose a high-level process for migrating from OpenCensus to OpenTelemetry #210

Closed dashpole closed 1 year ago

dashpole commented 1 year ago

Part of https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/issues/1175

We've talked about bridges for OpenCensus in the past, but I thought it would be a good idea to write down exactly how we expect them to be used, and consider the implications for library maintainers.

If the OTEP is accepted, I would add a migration guide to the current OpenCensus compatibility spec with the contents of the "migration plans" section.

In particular, please consider out the goals, alternatives considered, and open questions sections.

I've realized this probably doesn't need to be an OTep, since it is already an agreed upon direction by the community (part of the founding!). I'll convert it to a PR to the spec repo.
