Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-12276: ------------------------------------- Thanks Adrian As this is a fair amount of refactor to switch brave to the http reporter and whatnot. Do you have some examples we can look at doing that? Or some pointers to get on a start of a refactoring? > Stop requiring scribe transport for zipkin > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: CAMEL-12276 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-12276 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: camel-zipkin > Reporter: Adrian Cole > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.22.0 > > > Scribe is a long since archived transport originally from Facebook. > Unfortunately, when the zipkin camel integration was originally made, it > defaulted to the historical scribe transport as opposed to the much wider > supported http transport. Scribe is disabled by default on zipkin for a > while, due to it pinning to old libraries. > > Due to lack of maintenance here (especially when compared to opentracing), > updates around zipkin don't occur organically. In fact http wasn't added > until very recently eventhough it predated the camel integration! > [https://github.com/apache/camel/pull/2151] > > This lack of keeping up is kindof ok when measured in months, but when > measured in years, it has a bad effect. For example, we've been requests > (only because of camel) to add scribe into new libraries. It isn't fair to > Zipkin to have to add extra burden just because of lack of progression here. > We are mostly volunteer run. If we have extra time, it would be better to use > that to address more serious concerns, such as the modeling approach or old > apis used here. > > Please deprecate and plan to quickly remove the scribe transport. If that > isn't a viable option for you, please deprecate and remove your zipkin > support, so that we can do it in a more sustainable and more supportable way > externally, but without the confusion caused by conflating scribe with > zipkin's port. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
