Initial Entity and Resource proposal (open-telemetry#264)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is a proposal to address Resource and Entity data model
interactions, including a path forward to address immediate friction and
issues in the current resource specification.


The proposal includes all links and context needed to justify it, but
duplicating a snapshot here:

## Motivation

This proposal attempts to focus on the following problems within
OpenTelemetry to unblock multiple working groups:

- Allowing mutating attributes to participate in Resource ([OTEP
208](open-telemetry#208)).
- Allow Resource to handle entities whose lifetimes don't match the
SDK's lifetime ([OTEP
208](open-telemetry#208)).
- Provide support for async resource lookup
([spec#952](open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#952)).
- Fix current Resource merge rules in the specification, which most
implementations violate
([oteps#208](open-telemetry#208),
[spec#3382](open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#3382),
[spec#3710](open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#3710)).
- Allow semantic convention resource modeling to progress
([spec#605](open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#605),
[spec#559](open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#559),
etc).
