wu-sheng opened a new issue #6907: URL: https://github.com/apache/skywalking/issues/6907
Hi @apache/skywalking-committers This is one of the features, I plan to release in SkyWalking 2021. The OAL was introduced from 6.0 to make SkyWalking more flexible in agent and mesh scenarios. With all 3 years, we moved the SkyWalking from agent tracing analysis to service mesh covered. Now, SkyWalking support metrics, traces, logs, and event all in one. But also, with time, I noticed, the OAL is not a little too heavier, as many binary codes(classes) generated in the runtime. Currently 8.2 to 8.5 releases, we added MAL and LAL, which is groovy based, lighter, and more powerful, also if #6897 works, it has a super important advantage, which OAL is much harder to achieve. So, I and @kezhenxu94 discussed the possibility to replace OAL with MAL today. It seems practical. I open this issue to track when would we and how will lead on this. Please reply if you want to lead on this path. This is a high complex task, you are required to know OAP very well. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
