Andrea Cosentino commented on CAMEL-12276:
------------------------------------------
It should be done because spancollector-scribe should be removed.
> 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 Unfortunately, when the zipkin camel integration was originally made, it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.
