opentelemetry: fix broken build with default-features = false (#1949)
## Motivation

Currently, `tracing-opentelemetry` v0.17.1 fails to compile with
`default-features = false`. This is because there's a `let` binding for
`normalized_metadata` with a `None` where the `Some` type can't be
inferred. This managed to slip past CI and get released because we were
never actually building the crate with its default features disabled, an
oversight in our CI configuration.

## Solution

This branch fixes the issue by adding an explicit type annotation to the
`let` binding, so the `Option`'s type is known and the type error no
longer occurs. I also removed a feature-flagged import that was not
actually used.

I also added `tracing-opentelemetry` to the `cargo hack` CI job. This
way, we will now ensure that all its feature combinations are built on
CI (including no features), which should prevent this kind of thing from
occurring in the future. Without the fix, we can confirm that this job does
fail: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/runs/5279139893?check_suite_focus=true

Overview

tracing is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect structured, event-based diagnostic information. This crate provides a layer that connects spans from multiple systems into a trace and emits them to OpenTelemetry-compatible distributed tracing systems for processing and visualization.

The crate provides the following types:

Compiler support: requires rustc 1.49+

Examples

Basic Usage

use opentelemetry::exporter::trace::stdout;
use tracing::{error, span};
use tracing_subscriber::layer::SubscriberExt;
use tracing_subscriber::Registry;

fn main() {
    // Install a new OpenTelemetry trace pipeline
    let (tracer, _uninstall) = stdout::new_pipeline().install();

    // Create a tracing layer with the configured tracer
    let telemetry = tracing_opentelemetry::layer().with_tracer(tracer);

    // Use the tracing subscriber `Registry`, or any other subscriber
    // that impls `LookupSpan`
    let subscriber = Registry::default().with(telemetry);

    // Trace executed code
    tracing::subscriber::with_default(subscriber, || {
        // Spans will be sent to the configured OpenTelemetry exporter
        let root = span!(tracing::Level::TRACE, "app_start", work_units = 2);
        let _enter = root.enter();

        error!("This event will be logged in the root span.");
    });
}

Visualization example

# Run a supported collector like jaeger in the background
$ docker run -d -p6831:6831/udp -p6832:6832/udp -p16686:16686 jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest

# Run example to produce spans (from parent examples directory)
$ cargo run --example opentelemetry

# View spans (see the image below)

Supported Rust Versions

Tracing Opentelemetry is built against the latest stable release. The minimum supported version is 1.46. The current Tracing version is not guaranteed to build on Rust versions earlier than the minimum supported version.

Tracing follows the same compiler support policies as the rest of the Tokio project. The current stable Rust compiler and the three most recent minor versions before it will always be supported. For example, if the current stable compiler version is 1.45, the minimum supported version will not be increased past 1.42, three minor versions prior. Increasing the minimum supported compiler version is not considered a semver breaking change as long as doing so complies with this policy.
