Since these methods are about the span itself rather than specifically
*events* on the span, it makes sense to drop "events" from their names.
[Closes#33]
* initial metrics work
* rename cumulative to counter
* rename bidirectional to nonmonotonic
* rename unidirectional to monotonic
* rename nonnegative to signed
this changes the default semantics a bit - before the change measure
could record negative values by default, now it can't.
The specification draft currently specifies both NonNegative and
Signed, but I think it's a mistake.
* rename instrument to descriptor
* license
* rework measurement values
* make measurement value a tagged union
* simplify to one kind of metrics
* add observers
* change some interfaces to match the spec
* keep integral measurement separate from floating ones
* remove duplicated measurement type
* add checking for options
* reorder some fields and functions
* rename a function
to avoid confusion between the Handle type and the Measure type
* drop disabled field from descriptor
* add back typed API for metrics
* make metric options type safe
* merge alternatives into a single bool
* make value kind name less stuttery
* fix observation callback prototype
* drop context parameter from NewHandle
* drop useless parameter names
* make descriptor an opaque struct
* use a store helper
* handle comment fixes
* reword Alternate comment
* drop the "any value" metrics
* make measurement value simpler
* document value stuff
* add tests for values
* docs
* do not panic if there is no span ID in the event
* rename finish -> end
* missed a few finish -> end spots
* change end back to finish for the bridge span in the openTracing bridge
* fixed grammar, ran make
* Drop dead event type
* Replace EventType from reader with one from exporter
* Do not concat the strings for string buffer
* Fill scope ID in events
That required renaming a variable, because it had the same name as the
type we wanted to assert later.
* Do not fail quietly when span context is busted
* Allow specifying custom timestamps for events
Adding event with timestamp is not yet a part of the OpenTelemetry
specification, but this function will come in handy when implementing
the OpenTracing bridge.
* Add opentracing bridge, wrapper tracer and migration interfaces
There are some features missing - setting up links and span kind;
context propagation will only work between two OpenTracing bridges.
* Add some tests for the opentracing bridge
The tests mostly check various aspects of the cooperation between
OpenTracing and OpenTelemetry APIs.
* Remove globals from exp/streaming
* basic example
* Build the streaming example
* Update README.md for running streaming example
* Remove observer package
* Move observer to exporter
* Fix
* Re-run make circle-ci
* Merge two event methods in span API
There was an agreement to get rid of the Event interface and
consolidate the two methods for adding events into one. See #57.
* Eliminate the use of the Event interface
There is no need for the SDK to provide the implementation of the
Event interface - it is used nowhere.
* Drop the Event interface
It's dead code now.
* Make it possible to override a finish timestamp through options
Opentracing to opentelemetry bridge will certainly use this feature.
* Obey the start time option
* Add tests for events and custom start/end times
