OpenTracing Shim: Allow invalid but sampled SpanContext to be returned. #3471

Merged

This is done to support the jaeger-debug-id functionality, which allows invalid SpanContext with debug information to be propagated.

This came up through an issue in Java: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java#5339

@yurishkuro please review ;)

I would like to see a reference implementation first. This could mean much larger changes to the SDK implementation, eg handling parent context that is sampled but doesn't have a trace id. Also, the current SDK span context does not have a place to store debug-id. The ticket mentions trace state, but it would cause the value to propagate.

Most likely, this will not be implementable as many SDKs will normalize any invalid SpanContext to the completely empty one, losing the sampling bit: #753

Tangentially related also #2176

I do think we should implement & support this. This was quite a common debugging workflow at Uber with Jaeger SDK. But my objection was to starting with changing the spec without having an implementation and full understanding what else needs to change in the SDK.

@yurishkuro So https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/pull/5380/files has the changes we would need for Java, plus some simulation of how this could be done. I'm guessing you want a little more 'complete'?

Left some comments in the PR - would like it to be a bit cleaner, but looks promising.

@MrAlias does the current language (null or empty value being returned) is fine with you?

Merging as we use the suggested "null or empty" statement as recommended.
