OpenTelemetry Semantic conventions breaking changes

[Bruno Baptista]

Hi All,

Since Quarkus 3.7.0.CR1 we've been using OTel v1.32. This will change soon and has important implications because current Semantic Conventions for HTTP were changed and removed for newer versions of the SDK.

Currently you can move to the new conventions by setting the property quarkus.otel.semconv-stability.opt-in to:

• http for the new conventions or 
• http/dup produce duplicated old and new conventions attributes.

In the next or following Quarkus version, after we upgrade the OTel SDK, those conventions will permanently change to the new ones and the property allowing the switch will be removed.

If you have dashboards depending on the old semantic conventions, you will need to update them as well. 

For more details, please check the OpenTelemetry extension configuration reference for more details and the full set of changes at the HTTP semantic convention stability migration guide from OpenTelemetry.

Regards.
