> I'm not sure what you mean by this. It seems like we want to have Get() return opentelemetry::nostd::shared_ptr<opentelemetry::trace::Span> if #ifdef ARROW_WITH_OPENTELEMETRY, but not expose that condition in the header file. Not sure how a virtual class helps hide that. Then you can make the `Get` methods a part of the subclass and force callers to do a checked / dynamic cast. Since these methods are called primarily from helper-macros this shouldn't make any real difference to normal usage of the type. Or we just create our own `Span` that proxies the surface of `opentelemetry::trace::Span` that we care about and then not use `opentelemetry::trace::Span` anywhere. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
