> camel-tracing: Context is not propagated from exchange header to
> OpenTelemetry Context
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CAMEL-19667
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-19667
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: camel-opentelemetry, camel-tracing
> Affects Versions: 3.20.5, 3.20.6, 3.21.0, 4.0-M3
> Reporter: Roman Kvasnytskyi
> Priority: Major
> Labels: bug, opentelemetry, tracing
> Fix For: 4.x

> I am using OpenTelemetry Agent for tracing along with
> camel-opentelemetry-starter that configures OpenTelemetryTracer for Camel
> aligned with camel-tracing.
> I see my spans for Camel inside a single trace, but after control is passed
> to the Processor process method next spans are disassociated from the trace
> and are created in the separate trace.
> The tracing context does not seem to get propagated, and the resulting spans
> end up being disassociated. For example:
> {code:java}
> from("timer:tick?period=5s)
> .process("myProcessor");
> {code}
> {code:java}
> public class MyProcessor implements Processor {
> private final HttpClient someClient = new HttpClient();
> @Override
> public void process(Exchange exchange) {
> // http client is instrumented and also produces spans
> someClient.get('/example');
> }
> }
> {code}
> This results in 2 spans. One for timer:tick & another for a client call. The
> problem is that the parent span for client calls is not set, so they appear
> as 2 distinct traces.
> My exchange headers contain traceparent header with all data which should be
> put inside the OpenTelemetry context, but they do not.
> I have come up with a workaround. The idea is trivial - get traceparent
> header if it is present in exchange, parse trace metadata from it, create a
> SpanContext object, and put it as a parent for the current OpenTelemetry
> context.
> It looks like this:
> {code:java}
> public class TraceEnrichingProcessor implements Processor {
> private final Processor delegate;
> public TraceEnrichingProcessor(Processor delegate) {
> this.delegate = delegate;
> }
> @Override
> public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
> // Get the existing traceparent header from the Exchange
> String traceparent = exchange.getIn().getHeader("traceparent",
> String.class);
> if (traceparent != null && !traceparent.isEmpty()) {
> // Extract the traceId, parentSpanId and sampleFlag
> String[] parts = traceparent.split("-");
> String traceId = parts[1];
> String parentSpanId = parts[2];
> boolean isSampled = parts[3].equals("01");
> // Create the parent SpanContext
> SpanContext parentContext = SpanContext.create(
> traceId,
> parentSpanId,
> isSampled ? TraceFlags.getSampled() : TraceFlags.getDefault(),
> TraceState.getDefault()
> );
> // Attach the parent SpanContext to the current Context
> try (Scope scope =
> Context.current().with(Span.wrap(parentContext)).makeCurrent()) {
> // Now, the current Context has the parent SpanContext
> attached,
> // and any new spans created within this scope will use it as
> their parent
>
> // Pass control to the delegate processor
> delegate.process(exchange);
> }
> } else {
> // If no traceparent header is found, just delegate without
> modifying the Context
> delegate.process(exchange);
> }
> }
> } {code}
> Inside OpenTelemetry Agent, they dropped support of Camel 3.x+, because Camel
> provides its module for tracing, and they will not help with it.
> [Link|https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/issues/4052]
> I wonder if that can be done inside Camel to propagate context from the
> processor implicitly without manual propagation of context.
> *UPD1:* I have verified that these behaviour is consistent across Camel
> 3.20.5, 3.20.6, 3.21.0 and 4.0.0-RC1
