Update SpanSnapshot to use parent SpanContext (#1748)
* Update SpanSnapshot to use parent SpanContext

Having only the parent span ID and a separate field to communicate if
the parent was remote does not provide a comprehensive view of the
parent span nor is it an efficient way to transmit this information.
Update the SpanSnapshot to have a `Parent` field that contains the
parent span context. This field replaces the ParentSpanID and
HasRemoteParent fields.

* Revert SamplingParameters span change

* Update CHANGELOG with PR number

OpenTelemetry Collector Go Exporter

PkgGoDev

This exporter exports OpenTelemetry spans and metrics to the OpenTelemetry Collector.

Installation and Setup

The exporter can be installed using standard go functionality.

$ go get -u go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp

A new exporter can be created using the NewExporter function.

Retries

The exporter will not, by default, retry failed requests to the collector. However, it is configured in a way that it can be easily enabled.

To enable retries, the GRPC_GO_RETRY environment variable needs to be set to on. For example,

GRPC_GO_RETRY=on go run .

The default service config used by default is defined to retry failed requests with exponential backoff (0.3seconds * (2)^retry) with a max of 5 retries).

These retries are only attempted for reponses that are deemed "retry-able" by the collector.
