tracing_opentelemetry: Switch to Context propagation (#713)
The [OpenTelemetry Propagation
Spec](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/master/specification/context/api-propagators.md)
has been changed from operating primarily on `SpanContext`s to a more
generic `Context` struct which is a propagation mechanism that carries
execution-scoped values across API boundaries and between logically
associated execution units.

The following APIs are updated to facilitate this change:

* OpenTelemetrySpanExt's `set_parent` now accepts a reference to an
  extracted parent context.
* OpenTelemetrySpanExt's `context` now returns a context.

Additionally the need to sample spans before their context can be
injected into `Carrier`s necessitates that a `Sampler` is stored in the
`OpenTelemetryLayer`. Accordingly:

* `OpenTelemetryLayer::with_tracer(tracer)` has been removed in favor of
  `tracing_opentelemetry::layer().with_tracer(tracer).with_sampler(sampler)`

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:

Examples

Basic Usage

use opentelemetry::{api::Provider, sdk};
use tracing::{error, span};
use tracing_subscriber::layer::SubscriberExt;
use tracing_subscriber::Registry;

fn main() {
    // Create a new tracer
    let tracer = sdk::Provider::default().get_tracer("component_name");

    // Create a new OpenTelemetry tracing layer
    let telemetry = tracing_opentelemetry::layer().with_tracer(tracer);

    let subscriber = Registry::default().with(telemetry);

    // Trace executed code
    tracing::subscriber::with_default(subscriber, || {
        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)
$ firefox http://localhost:16686/
