Description

Which component is this feature for?

Langchain Instrumentation

🔖 Feature description

Right now, we monkey-patch classes and methods in LlamaIndex which requires endless work and constant maintenance. Langchain has a system for callbacks that can potentially be used to create/end spans without being too coupled with with the framework's inner structure.

🎤 Why is this feature needed ?

Support Langchain entirely and be future-proof to internal API changes

✌️ How do you aim to achieve this?

Look into Langchain callbacks and how other frameworks are using it.

Start by reading the LangChain callbacks documentation linked in the issue and comparing how other frameworks use callbacks. Map the existing LangChain instrumentation and its LlamaIndex monkey patches, then define what callback-based span creation and completion must cover to support LangChain without relying on internal APIs.
