Jaeger propagator

Announcement (Jaeger)

• Version: 1.8.2
• Date: 2023-01-31
• PR: [DEPRECATION] Deprecate the Jaeger exporter #1923

This PR also listed the Jaeger propagator as deprecated.

Motivation (Jaeger)

The Jaeger Exporter is now (July 2023) removed from the OpenTelemetry specification.

The Jaeger Propagator remains, because changing propagation is a longer process compared to changing an export format.

New deployments however are encouraged to use a W3C compliant propagator, and avoid the Jaeger propagator, which is now deprecated.

Scope (Jaeger)

The following are deprecated and planned for removal:

• the API header opentelemetry/trace/propagation/jaeger.h, including:
  • the C++ class JaegerPropagator

Mitigation (Jaeger)

Use a W3C compliant propagator instead.

That is, use class HttpTraceContext and "traceparent" tags.

Do not use class JaegerPropagator and "uber-trace-id" tags.

Planned removal (Jaeger)

No date set yet for the Jaeger Propagator.
