(Don’t be surprised when things break with 2.8… They’re religious about removing deprecated methods on minor release versions. If they followed standard convention, they’d likely be on at least 11.x.)
Add client test for 2.4-2.5 http library. 2.6+ won’t work because the underlying frameworks we instrument are shaded.
Also add server tests. We could do a lot more testing since it seems play still supports using Netty as the backing server even though it’s not the default. It’s difficult to do extensive testing though because they have so many breaking changes between versions.
We already have a hack to wait for client span to close after the
request because it is closed on separate thread. This patch extends
that hack to handle cases when original request throws an exception.
Previously we were inheriting from the parent and also often setting as a tag.
Apply default span assertion to verify the spanType is being checked properly. (Include error state too.)
This will allow better metric collection and identification of trends for individual services/hosts.
This is not enabled by default because it can result in a high cardinality of services.
