Summary

Aligns Java OTLP trace metrics with the cross-tracer contract tracked by system-tests#7466.

  • Emits service.name on every data point, canonical SPAN_KIND_* values, and string STATUS_CODE_* values.
  • Maps absent, empty, unknown, or unrecognized trace-metric span kinds to SPAN_KIND_INTERNAL; never emits SPAN_KIND_UNSPECIFIED.
  • Makes OTLP trace-metric output independent of DD_TRACE_OTEL_SEMANTICS_ENABLED; global parsing, telemetry, and the public config accessor remain unchanged.
  • Always emits available OTel and datadog.* attributes, including native booleans for datadog.span.top_level and known datadog.is_trace_root values.
  • Emits origin, peer tags, configured additional metric tags, and datadog.svc_src as a string when service source is present.
  • Adds Datadog runtime/process resource attributes and generated process-tag precedence.
  • Keeps aggregation extras as Map<String, Object>; no wrapper.

Validation:

  • focused writer and metrics-package tests
  • Spotless
  • forbidden APIs and SpotBugs

Brings the traces.span.sdk.metrics.duration OTLP export in line with
the RFC's attribute spec: emit datadog.process_tags as one arrayValue
resource attribute instead of split per-key attributes, add the
missing datadog.is_trace_root data-point attribute, canonicalize
span.kind to the OTel Span Metrics Connector's uppercase convention,
and emit status.code unconditionally with STATUS_CODE_OK/ERROR values
instead of only on error.

Load and DaCapo benchmarks can be triggered manually in the GitLab pipeline. Results will appear in the Benchmarking Platform UI after completion.

service.name was only emitted on a data point when it differed from
the writer's configured default service, which contradicts the RFC's
always-present requirement already applied to status.code, span.kind,
and is_trace_root. Drop the now-unused defaultService field/param.
The earlier spotless fix collapsed this Javadoc onto one physical
line, but the formatter's own target (confirmed from the spotless
job trace) keeps the three-line /** ... */ block and only unwraps
the content itself onto a single line inside it.

Datadog Autotest: FAIL

When process-tag propagation is enabled, a user global tag named datadog.process_tags produces two OTLP resource attributes with the same key: the user string and the new process-tag array. Duplicate OTLP keys have ambiguous consumer behavior, so the generated array must take precedence.
