Description
proably needs further breakdown with:
- kafka
- kafka-producer
- kafka-consumer
However doing those 3 together is required to help providing some consistency.
EDIT: extra challenge, lots of those metrics might also be covered with Kafka client instrumentation: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/blob/main/instrumentation/kafka/kafka-clients/kafka-clients-2.6/library/README.md?plain=1#L191
EDIT (2): this will now require to add a new weaver definition in model subfolder.
