The OpenTracing bridge docs for the java apm agent (version 1.52.1) on OpenTracing bridge | APM Java Agent Reference [1.x] | Elastic contain a note saying the following:
" OpenTracing is discontinued in favor of OpenTelemetry. Consider using the OpenTelemetry bridge instead.
Latest supported OpenTracing version: 0.33 (as of agent and OpenTracing-bridge version 1.9.0)"
I assume the OpenTracing bridge will be dropped in a future release.
Is there any roadmap for this? Is there a clear end-of-support date for the OpenTracing bridge?
We are relying on this bridge at the moment, but company policy also forces us to not use outdated libraries. Having a better picture on OpenTracing support will help us in planning our work and plan our migration to OpenTelemetry.
