Description

Declare how to share a receiver across multiple signals with factory options.

Right now, we have each component looking to reuse across signals use a library under internal/sharedcomponent, and declare their own map of components. We move this map to the factory and use a factory option to set a consumer of a different signal on the existing receiver.

This removes the need to declare and manage internal/sharedcomponent.

This PR lacks test coverage and is meant to collect feedback on the feasibility.

There are two behaviors related to status reporting that were implemented in sharedcomponent that need to be preserved in this PR. A shared component represents multiple, logical component instances as a single component. For the purposes of status reporting, the shared component must report status for each of the logical components it represents. To complicate matters sightly, there are two ways to report status for a component. It can be reported from outside the component (via the service status.Reporter) or from within the component (via
component.TelemetrySettings). In both cases, a single call to ReportStatus needs to report status for each component instance. For example, if you have an OTLP receiver that is part of three pipelines, one for traces, logs, and metrics, three status events would be emitted for each call to ReportStatus. With that as background, I'll explain the two special cases that sharedcomponent currently handles.

1. sharedcomponent currently chains together the telemetrysettings.ReportStatus functions for each instance of the component. this is how it emits n status events for n logical instances. This function is called from within the component.
2. graph does automatic status reporting for components during startup. It calls ReportStatus on the service's status.Reporter. This reports status from outside the component. The graph starts components one by one, however, this is a problem for the sharedcomponent, as it should transition all logical instances to Starting before Start is called. This is handled in the shared component by reporting its status from within, preemptively, via its chained telemetrysettings.ReportStatus method. Shutdown works similarly.

The solutions currently part of sharedcomponent are not ideal, IMO, and it'd be great if we can improve upon them in the redesign. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

@mwear can we create an integration test that faithfully checks both scenarios you describe? This way we can make sure this continues to work.

Sure thing. That's an oversight from the original implementation.
