[OTel hybrid agent] Investigate bi-directional context propagation between NR and OTel #2098

Closed

Description

@jasonjkeller

The prototype in the Java agent appears to be uni-directional, where it receives a notification that a span started or ended, and then it starts/stops a transaction/segment using the internal New Relic data model.

It doesn't appear that this internal state is reflected back into the OTel spans.

Maybe this uni-directional approach is good enough to start out with?

Maybe we can have a better offering if we can support reflecting some of our internal context back via the OTel spans?
