No, I don't need two agents, just asking in case of the OpenTelemetry
Java agent, what is the better solution?
1. Use an OpenTelemetry agent  for direct connection to SkyWalking with the
protocol :
   a. -Dotel.exporter.otlp.protocol=http/protobuf
   b. -Dotel.exporter.otlp.protocol=grpc
2. Use an OpenTelemetry agent to send data to OpenTelemetry collector and
try to export it to  Skywalking AOP
