Hi all, I've been exploring ideas around improving native support for OpenTelemetry in Cassandra and came across CEP-32<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-32>. After reviewing the associated dev mailing list discussions<https://lists.apache.org/thread/oo1kt8s2nyznk5hyfb4kkdmvlgr03ys5>, my understanding is that there isn’t currently a clear path forward for direct OTEL integration. It seems the primary concerns are:
1. The implications of introducing a third-party library into Cassandra, and 2. Potential performance impact on nodes. Is that a fair summary of the current consensus? If so, would it make sense—purely from a CEP hygiene and clarity perspective—to mark CEP-32 as deferred or close it out to reflect the current state? Thanks, Himanshu
