Hi Apache Airflow Community, I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to propose the addition of a new provider to Apache Airflow for OpenTelemetry (https://opentelemetry.io). OpenTelemetry is an emerging standard for instrumentation of services and applications, and recently has matured to gain huge popularity. Recently, there has been AIP (Airflow Improvement Proposal) no. 49 to implement OpenTelemetry support for Apache Airflow, which will enable Airflow to be able to emit metrics, traces, and task logs in OpenTelemetry (PRs: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/37948, https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/40802) Since this feature is to be released soon to the future Airflow, having this provider will further allow users to have more means to instrument their DAGs. This OTEL provider can work independently from Airflow's OTEL implementation, as well as in conjunction if the feature is available and enabled. Any DAGs instrumented with OTEL provider will work with Airflow versions that may not have OTEL support, but also seamlessly with Airflow that supports OTEL, providing OTEL for everybody. I am willing to contribute to the development and integration effort to ensure a smooth and effective implementation. Please let me know if there are any specific guidelines or processes that I should follow to initiate this proposal. Thanks and regards, Howard Yoo
