Description
Resolves #8573
For some time, our OTel implementation of
Span.current()
used OTel'sSpan.current()
which (also for some time) always returns a value. If there is no current span, OTel returns a new no-op span (with the trace and span IDs set to 0). (Because Jaeger has come to rely on OTel as well, this affected the Jaeger current span behavior as well.)But our
Span.current()
contract says we returnOptional.empty()
if there is no current span.This PR instead uses OTel's
Span.fromContextOrNull
to retrieve the actual current span if there is one or 'null' if there is none. Then our code wraps that in anOptional
, thus honoring the documented contract.Documentation
