Description
### Problem Statement
When I enabled [caching]() in the OkHttp client and activated File I/O Sentry instrumentation, I observed that the `file.write` span always ends with a `deadline_exceeded` status. This occurs due to the way OkHttp's `DiskLruCache` manages the journal file internally - it keeps the *journalWriter* open until explicitly closed.
Sentry SDK: `8.13.2`
Sentry Gradle Plugin: `5.8.0`
### Solution Brainstorm
Ideally, we want the span to be properly closed each time cached data is flushed (written). Perhaps the Sentry SDK could handle this differently if the File I/O operation originates from the OkHttp cache. Alternatively, it would be beneficial if we could filter this span out, preventing its duration from contributing to the total `ui.load` time.
