Having the API depend on
google.golang.org/grpc
is undesirerable as it imposes large dependency requirements for any system wanting to use the OpenTelemetry API to instrument their code. This is contrary to the project goalsThe specification describes the canonical code to follow the standard gRPC codes. Building our own implementation of just the code portion of
google.golang.org/grpc
is what is done here.This does not propagate the package all the way through the SDK and exporters. This is to minimize disruption for any existing exporters and given the same dependency concerns are not as stringent with the SDK (and the rest of the pipeline) this seems like the appropriate demarcation.
