Removal Plan

Phase 1: Core API - Messaging & Instrumenter

MessagingAttributesGetter (instrumentation-api-incubator) - Remove deprecated methods (L39, L45)

InstrumenterCustomizer (instrumentation-api-incubator) - Remove:

Old span name extractor customizer → setSpanNameExtractorCustomizer(UnaryOperator)
Old span status extractor customizer → setSpanStatusExtractorCustomizer(UnaryOperator)

Phase 2: Kafka & JMS Messaging

TracingConsumerInterceptor (kafka-clients-2.6) - Remove entire class → Use KafkaTelemetry#consumerInterceptorConfigProperties()

TracingProducerInterceptor (kafka-clients-2.6) - Remove entire class → Use KafkaTelemetry#producerInterceptorConfigProperties()

KafkaInstrumenterFactory (kafka-clients-common-0.11) - Remove setCaptureExperimentalSpanAttributes() → Use setMessagingReceiveTelemetryEnabled(boolean)

JmsInstrumenterFactory (jms-common) - Remove setCaptureExperimentalSpanAttributes() → Use setMessagingReceiveTelemetryEnabled(boolean)

SpringKafkaTelemetryBuilder (spring-kafka-2.7) - Remove setCaptureExperimentalSpanAttributes() → Use setMessagingReceiveTelemetryEnabled(boolean)

Phase 3: Spring Integration & RocketMQ

RocketMqTelemetry - Remove:

newConsumeMessageHook() → createConsumeMessageHook()
newSendMessageHook() → createSendMessageHook()

Phase 4: NATS

NatsTelemetry - Remove:

newConnection(Options) → createConnection(Options, ConnectionFactory)
newConnection(Options.Builder) → createConnection(Options.Builder, ConnectionFactory)

Phase 5: AWS SDK & Lambda

AwsSdkTelemetry (1.11) - Remove newRequestHandler() → Use createRequestHandler()

AwsSdkTelemetryBuilder (1.11) - Remove setCaptureExperimentalSpanAttributes() → Use setMessagingReceiveTelemetryEnabled(boolean)

AwsSdkTelemetry (2.2) - Remove newExecutionInterceptor() → Use createExecutionInterceptor()

AWS Lambda Events (2.2) - Remove entire deprecated wrapper classes:

TracingRequestApiGatewayWrapper
TracingRequestWrapper
TracingSqsEventHandler
TracingSqsEventWrapper
TracingSqsMessageHandler

Phase 6: gRPC & Dubbo (RPC)

GrpcTelemetry - Remove:

newClientInterceptor() → createClientInterceptor()
newServerInterceptor() → createServerInterceptor()

GrpcTelemetryBuilder - Remove:

Old client span name extractor → setClientSpanNameExtractorCustomizer(UnaryOperator)
Old server span name extractor → setServerSpanNameExtractorCustomizer(UnaryOperator)

DubboTelemetryBuilder - Remove:

Old client span name extractor → setClientSpanNameExtractorCustomizer(UnaryOperator)
Old server span name extractor → setServerSpanNameExtractorCustomizer(UnaryOperator)

Phase 7: GraphQL, Elasticsearch, Quartz

GraphQLTelemetry (12.0 & 20.0) - Remove newInstrumentation() → Use createInstrumentation()

ElasticsearchRest7TelemetryBuilder - Remove old span name extractor → Use setSpanNameExtractorCustomizer(Function)

QuartzTelemetryBuilder - Remove old span name extractor → Use setSpanNameExtractorCustomizer(Function)

Phase 8: Logback & Javaagent API

OpenTelemetryAppender (logback-appender-1.0) - Remove setCaptureCodeAttributes(boolean) → Use setCaptureLogstashMarkerAttributes(boolean)

LoggingEventMapper (logback-appender-1.0) - Remove setCaptureCodeAttributes(boolean) → Use setCaptureLogstashMarkerAttributes(boolean)

IgnoredTypesConfigurer (javaagent-extension-api) - Remove old configure method → Use configure(IgnoredTypesBuilder)

InstrumentationModule (javaagent-extension-api) - Remove old method → Use defaultEnabled() (will be removed in 3.0.0)

OpenTelemetrySdkAccess (javaagent-bootstrap) - Remove deprecated member

Testing Strategy

Gradle Test Tasks:

# Messaging - Kafka
./gradlew :instrumentation:kafka:kafka-clients:kafka-clients-2.6:library:test
./gradlew :instrumentation:kafka:kafka-clients:kafka-clients-common:library:test
./gradlew :instrumentation:spring:spring-kafka-2.7:library:test

# Messaging - JMS
./gradlew :instrumentation:...
