Changes

Updates Trace SDK and Propagator specifications with

  • List W3C propagator requirements (e.g., should propagate tracestate)
  • Introduce W3C Trace Context Level 2 w/ the Random flag
  • Define explicit randomness feature from OTEP 235, OTEP 261
  • Trace SDK default ID generator should include 56 bits of randomness in the correct location
  • Trace SDK for root spans: either set the random flag to confirm the above, or use an explicit randomness value.

Part of #1413.
Part of #3602.

Product of the Sampling SIG members @kentquirk @kalyanaj @oertl @PeterF778 and myself.

specification/trace/sdk.md Outdated
meet the [W3C Trace Context Level 2 randomness requirements][W3CCONTEXTTRACEID],
and when the the [`rv` sub-key of the OpenTelemetry TraceState][OTELRVALUE] is
not already set, the SDK SHOULD insert an explicit trace randomness value
into the OpenTelemetry TraceState value containing 56 random bits.

This requirement seems to conflict with the use case where we want to have the same rv shared by a number of related traces. Also, it makes the random flag in trace-flags quite meaningless.
We may want to allow samplers to change the rv for the ROOT spans explicitly, or delegate the responsibility for setting rv for non-random trace-id and ROOT spans to the samplers.

@PeterF778 See if b75113c addresses your concern. I'm trying to avoid a large diff, and I think this is sufficient.
