Additional propagators (OTTrace)

[weslenteche]

Overview:

The OpenTelemetry Specification suggests a list of additional propagators that MAY be maintained and distributed as OpenTelemetry extension packages.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement support for OTTrace additional propagators in OpenTelemetry.

Additional context

I noticed that other SDKs, such as Go, Python, Java and JavaScript for example, maintain support for the OTTrace propagator. Some of these SDKs keep these propagators in the contribution package.

Proposal:

• Implement OTTrace Propagator.

I'm less enthusiastic about this one than Jaeger - is anybody actually asking for it? Yes, a few SIGs do implement this, but a lot don't, as well: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/spec-compliance-matrix.md#context-propagation
I also see that the opentracing repos have "deprecated/archived" plastered all over them...
