Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hazelcast 5.x is not currently included in the Java agent’s supported libraries. I’d like to contribute instrumentation for Hazelcast map operations.

Describe the solution you'd like

Hazelcast 5.0+ Java client operations on IMap
Synchronous and asynchronous calls
Local operation spans only; no cross-member context propagation in v1
No keys, values, or query payloads captured

Describe alternatives you've considered

There was previously an open-tracing contribution for Hazelcast project here.
Manual instrumentation could also work?

Additional context

Before implementation, I’d appreciate guidance on:
Whether client-only v1 is an acceptable scope;
Appropriate span naming/attributes given Hazelcast’s cache/data-grid model;
Whether this should be disabled by default because of potential span volume;
Whether there is a preferred Hazelcast interception point or public API boundary.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Hazelcast 5.0+ Java client IMap API and the prior opentracing-contrib/java-hazelcast contribution. Resolve the preferred interception point, span naming and attributes, default enablement, and client-only scope before implementation. Done means synchronous and asynchronous map operations have local-operation spans without capturing keys, values, or query payloads.
