OpenTelemetry - Zipkin Span Exporter

This is an OpenTelemetry exporter that sends span data using the io.zipkin.reporter2:zipkin-reporter library.

By default, this POSTs json in Zipkin format to a specified HTTP URL. This could be to a Zipkin service, or anything that consumes the same format.

You can alternatively use other formats, such as protobuf, or override the Sender to use a non-HTTP transport, such as Kafka.

Configuration

The Zipkin span exporter can be configured programmatically.

An example of simple Zipkin exporter initialization. In this case spans will be sent to a Zipkin endpoint running on localhost:

ZipkinSpanExporter exporter =
        ZipkinSpanExporter.builder()
            .setEndpoint("http://localhost/api/v2/spans")
            .build();
