I'm using this together with https://github.com/lightstep/lightstep-tracer-java-common.

With this in my pom...

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.lightstep.tracer</groupId>
      <artifactId>tracer-okhttp</artifactId>
      <version>0.20.0</version>
    </dependency>

... I get this when calling LightStepTraceExporter.unregister():

java.lang.IllegalStateException: LightStep exporter is not registered.
	at com.lightstep.opencensus.exporter.LightStepTraceExporter.unregister(LightStepTraceExporter.java:54)

With tracer-okhttp 0.19.3, the same code works fine.

Is LightStepTraceExporter.unregister() working for you with tracer-okhttp 0.20.0?

This is somewhat related to #12, since shutting down isn't really documented.

Hi,

Would it be possible to have these build artifacts published to maven central? I did some local testing with this library and it seems to working as expected, I can see my opencensus traces in Lightstep!

Thanks

Otherwise context propagation is broken between services that use OpenCensus with an exporter and native opentracing-LightStep instrumented services.

Hi!

I want to tag a span as failing, with a stack trace and an exception class, as described here:
https://github.com/opentracing/specification/blob/master/semantic_conventions.md#log-fields-table

The best way I have come up with so far for the logging part is to use an annotation:

    Tracing.getTracer()
        .getCurrentSpan()
        .addAnnotation(
            Annotation.fromDescriptionAndAttributes(
                "I don't want this string in the Lightstep UI",
                Collections.singletonMap("error.kind", AttributeValue.stringAttributeValue(e.getClass().getSimpleName()))));

It works, but it also clutters the Lightstep UI with the I don't want this string in the Lightstep UI string.

What is the recommended way to do this? How do I do it if I don't want the I don't want this string in the Lightstep UI string in the Lightstep UI?

Related to #12; both issues are about documenting how to use this package.

I'm getting this error while building:

lightstep-census-java/src/main/java/com/lightstep/opencensus/exporter/LightStepExporterHandler.java:[92,52] diamond operator is not supported in -source 1.6

Once this is solved, we can publish to Maven Central ;)

Hi!

I tried to make a simple example just creating an exporter, making an OpenCensus span and reporting it.

It didn't work until I added a number of Thread.sleep() statements around my code.

Could you please add to the README a simple example that:

• Sets up a working environment
• Starts / finishes an OpenCensus span
• Flushes outstanding data to the satellite(s)
• Shuts down
• After shutdown has actually reported the span so that it can be seen in your web UI

In my experiments neither LightStepTraceExporter.unregister() nor JRETracer.flush(), nor a combination thereof seem to actually flush data to your satellites, but Thread.sleep(20000) does.

Looks like something might be going on with this code line

In LightStep the logs do not show up for the compressed sizes of the message, instead it just says "RECEIVED RECEIVED SENT SENT"
