Update opentelemetry-api and opentelemetry-sdk to 1.44.0 #7433
Description
Activity
I’m interested in investigating this compatibility update, if nobody has already started. Current main still caps opentelemetry-api and opentelemetry-sdk at 1.42.1. I would first check dependency resolution with the telemetry extras/exporters and run the relevant telemetry tests against 1.44.0. If compatible, I would propose the smallest constraint update with validation evidence; if there is a real blocker, I would document it here rather than blindly raise the bounds.
I found no public claim or matching PR for this issue. If the author or another contributor already has work underway, please let me know so I can avoid duplication. Maintainers: is investigating this bump welcome, or are these upper bounds intentional?
I plan to use Codex assistance. This is an interest/coordination request; I’m prioritizing one contribution at a time rather than promising simultaneous delivery.
I am starting the compatibility investigation now, using Codex assistance. I will reproduce the current install restriction with OpenTelemetry 1.44.0, check dependency resolution for the telemetry extras, and run the telemetry tests against the proposed bounds. If those checks pass, I will submit a minimal dependency update with the validation results. I checked the issue timeline and open PRs again and found no public competing implementation; please let me know if work is already underway privately.

on Oct 8, 2026 Hello @BrownMunda1,
Thank you for raising this. Could you provide some context regarding this request? Specifically are you encountering a dependency conflict with another package that requires a newer OpenTelemetry version or is there a particular feature or fix in version 1.44.0 that you require? If you are facing a conflict please share the package name and the associated error message.
@llalitkumarrr we're aiming to make use of splunk-opentelemetry for tracing. splunk-opentelemetry's version 2.12.1 is dependent on OTel 1.44.0. We just want to be able to make use of that latest version along with google-adk's latest version. If there is something for which google-adk has a hard dependency on OTel <=1.42.1, would love to know that
Wanted to propose an update in the core OTel libraries in the dependencies section of pyproject.toml
opentelemetry-api<=1.42.1 —> opentelemetry-api<=1.44.0 (

opentelemetry-sdk<=1.42.1 —> opentelemetry-sdk<=1.44.0 (

If not possible, would love to know why are the version bumps not possible, where is the exact point which would break if the OTel versions are updated
Thanks
