	// they were registered using [WithProcessor].
	// Implementations may synchronously modify the record so that the changes
	// are visible in the next registered processor.
	// Notice that [Record] is not concurrent safe. Therefore, asynchronous
	// processing may cause race conditions. Use [Record.Clone]
	// to create a copy that shares no state with the original.

	// After Shutdown is called, calls to Export, Shutdown, or ForceFlush
	// should perform no operation and return nil error.
