Copying from opentelemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib
This files in the prometheus/
and prometheusremotewrite/
are copied from the OpenTelemetry Project1.
This is done instead of adding a go.mod dependency because OpenTelemetry depends on prometheus/prometheus
and a cyclic dependency will be created. This is just a temporary solution and the long-term solution is to move the required packages from OpenTelemetry into prometheus/prometheus
.
To update the dependency is a multi-step process:
- Vendor the latest
prometheus/prometheus
@main
intoopentelemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib
- Update the VERSION in
update-copy.sh
. - Run
./update-copy.sh
.
Why copy?
This is because the packages we copy depend on the prompb
package. While the package is relatively stable, there are still changes. For example, https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/11935 changed the types.
This means if we depend on the upstream packages directly, we will never able to make the changes like above. Hence we're copying the code for now.
I need to manually change these files
When we do want to make changes to the types in prompb
, we might need to edit the files directly. That is OK, please let @gouthamve or @jesusvazquez know so they can take care of updating the upstream code (by vendoring in prometheus/prometheus
upstream and resolving conflicts) and then will run the copy
script again to keep things updated.
