Why do we have both Create
methods and constructors?

I see, probably because of creating unique pointers. Should we make the constructors private then, to prevent the creation of unmanaged resources?

There is challenge to do this in C++. Ideally, I would like to make constructor as private, and make OTELResourceDetector
as friend class of Resource
, but we actually need all derivations of ResourceDetector
have access to this constructor.
opentelementry-java does it using AutoValue
annotation, and opentelemetry-dotnet does it using internal
keyword.

Ok. Please ignore above comment. I have now made constructor as protected ( so that it can be used in test cases ), and made OTELResourceDetector
as friend class. It seems we don't need to invoke Resource
constructor in any other detector, so we should be fine.

What's your opinion about replacing those with a single:
Resource(const std::map<std::string, opentelemetry::sdk::trace::SpanDataAttributeValue> attributes) noexcept;
As resources are an SDK only concept, we don't need to worry about ABI compatibility here.
Also, we should move the attribute_utils.h
(containing the AttributeMap
) from trace
to common
. Resources will be used by metrics as well.

I think when we start to use resources, we have to make them shared pointers. Resources are supposed to be attached to every span. We don't want to have unique pointers there, but share a common resource with a shared pointer.

Is there a reason to return a unique_ptr over just using the stack here?
Resource is non-virtual class, so it might be a simple API to just return it by-value.

I think the motivation behind that is to avoid excessive copying of a resource. A resource might be appended to each span. Having a shared_ptr
(I think a unique pointer will not do) enables us to avoid copying the resource and its attributes.

NIt: Here and elsewhere in this file. Can we add method documentation about the expectations of calling this?
E.g. for Merge
I expect attributes already defined to not be overridden by other
's attributes, but want to confirm this is expected.
For this review, yes I'm looking it up in the spec, but we should document it here for other maintainers of C++.

As it is possible to share resources across multiple spans, it would be better to use shared_ptr

This method doesn't need to determine how resources are shared.
A few points:
- Resource-attachment to Trace is NOT specified in the API. In fact, I don't think you can attach via the API in any other language.
- The resource will be attached to a metric provider or trace provider (see: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/blob/efd559f1e09e02f6f5a93ac91c272042849b3bd1/sdk-extensions/autoconfigure/src/main/java/io/opentelemetry/sdk/autoconfigure/OpenTelemetrySdkAutoConfiguration.java#L35) for an example in Java.
I think it's reasonable for this method to return on the Stack. We then have our MetricProvider + TraceProvider have a Resource
attribute they own, and Trace/Metrics generated from those provides can use Pointers or references to the resource associated with a provider.
Resources should really only be a startup concern and not something we expect users to pass around. I'd rather see a Resource&&
argument on *Provider
classes just to make ownership clear. This is similar to other APIs.
References:
- Trace API spec has no reference to
Resource
- Trace SDK spec denotes the resource is implicitly associated with a Span.

I agree here. Resource
need to be associated with TracerProvider at sdk level, and we can actually pass the reference of same to traces generated from the provider. And in that case, we don't need to manage smart pointers. Let me add other half in this PR, and it would be easier to comprehend.

Same nit: Is there a reason to return a shared_ptr here? AFAIK Resource detection happens once and generally isn't passing pointers between different memory owners.

I'd like to avoid the counting of shared_ptr references if we can just use the attached TraceProvider.
I.e. shared_ptr has a cost, and I think we don't need it in this scenario. If we still want to use shared_ptr
within the SDK to associate resource from *Provider
to Span
, that's fine but a different PR.
I think without seeing the other half of the change it's hard to fully comment on merits of shared_ptr.

Yes, I did revisit again, and probably we mayn't need smart pointer here ( including unique_ptr). Let me add other half of implementation in this PR, so that it would be easy to comprehend and review.

Nit:
Would it make sense to have both the OTEL resource + default resource be statics within this function?
{
static auto default_resource = Resource::GetDefault();
static auto otel_env_resource = OTELResourceDetector().Detect();
...
}
This would avoid re-running the OTEL resource detection for every created resource.

Do we have to implement these (internal to SDK surface) methods.. can we make it a map
- inherited from standard library map (either map
or unordered_map
), and follow semantics of existing APIs available, e.g. map::merge .. Then we are not inventing some new Visual Basic-style API, but follow existing Standard Library semantics everywhere. This will be easier to comprehend by experienced modern C++ developer... Plus - I think it would be consistent if our container classes are compatible with existing algorithm
templates described here

The spec defines some strict rules around merging, which I think are not satisfied by map::merge
:
- If the value on the primary resource is an empty string, the result has the value of the secondary resource.
- Otherwise, the value of the primary resource is used.

Can you supplement this with a test that handles strongly-typed attributes of numeric (integer) type? i.e. map of variants. Also - the cost
parameter here should be a double
, not string. Somebody who is onboarding to SDK should be able to freely express strongly-typed parameters in general. Just like it's done in nlohmann/json
, where you'd provide developers with initializer list constructor, that is capable of accepting arbitrary variant types described within the OpenTelemetry spec.. Maybe not going as far as implementing the array types. But at least all primitive types in spec + std::string
.

As an alternative idea (that might be harder?) we could instead push the Resource into the Exporter via the Processor. I think that's not really specified (and actually the lack of specification around HOW Resource propagates may give us room to do something different if you think it'd be cleaner).
This approach looks fine, just wanted to mention that you have options AFAICT from the spec.

I like the idea about propagating the resource into the exporter (that would make it possible to do some optimization, some vendors have a section of common attributes for batches), on the other hand it would make processor and exporter interfaces and the lives of exporter developers harder.

@jsuereth - Good point, this way we don't need to propagate resource every time as part of span, but there would be extra task at exporter side to integrate this resource with span data before exporting.
@pyohannes - My initial plan was to add Recordable::SetResource()
. But let me explore more and add propagation in next PR as planned if that's fine ?

I think we shouldn't make this a reference, but hold the resource by value. Theoretically, we support using a Tracer
without a TracerProvider
(I remember that was a requirement that came up early in the design process). Having a copy of the resource in the Tracer
makes this design safer and doesn't cost much.
