feat: add max_attributes_per_event and max_attributes_per_link. #521

Added max_attributes_per_event and max_attributes_per_link.

We enforced those rules in tracer or spans rather than having an EvictedQueue is because we cannot get the max_attributes when we create links or events. We cannot assume the users are using a tracer created by the global tracer provider as in theory users can have multiple tracer providers.

Need to add unit tests

Nice to add the additional limit config 👍, I wonder if there may be a better way to enforce at event creation (or if we need to change the event creation api to support limits better)

I do think we should make members of Event private just in case we need to add fields.

But in order to enforce the rules. Event must have some connection with the tracer provider when creating because the limit was stored in the tracer provider. We could use a tracer to create an event but I don't think it's in the spec and it feels wired TBH.

@TommyCpp looks like the current config struct was renamed to span limits in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1416, what do you think about the idea of having spans storing their limits directly to avoid the tracer provider lookup (e.g. the go version)

We could do that, it increases the size of a span a little but we can avoid upgrading weak pointer in the tracer. But we still need to enforce the limit when adding events or links.

I think the spec wants this pluralized

Suggested change
pub struct SpanLimit {
pub struct SpanLimits {

if let Some(link_options) = &mut link_options {
for link in link_options.iter_mut() {

Do we still need to do this? going through append_vec below will call push_back which should already handle the limits configured above

If I understand correctly, the append_vec only enforces the limit on the number of links. Not the number of attributes of a link

It may make sense to redesign how we create a link to enforce the limit when we creating one 🤔 in the future. Gonna have to use EvictedQueue to store the attributes too

Yeah can rethink he we store dropped count and others in a follow up PR perhaps

My current plan is to add fields in SpanLimits to allow us to store the dropped number in it.
Also need to print the warning message when the dropped number reaches some threshold. Cannot really warn whenever we drop because the spec says don't be too noisy on this issue.

Does this need to be optional? Could switch tests to use Default::default() instead of None

If the span_limit is None. Then we will try to get the span limit from the tracer provider. If there isn't a tracer provider connected with the tracer, we will use the default.

Sometimes we may change the span_limit during the span building(For example, we may record the number of dropped entities in the future) so we may pass modified span_limit. But we want to keep the span limit the same as the tracer provider, we can pass None.

Hm yeah we should store them somewhere. Maybe best path is to have SpanLimits not be optional here and add dropped counts to SpanData? keeps things simple and tracks attribute drops without having to upgrade the provider.

Sounds reasonable. I removed the option around SpanLimits. I probably would open another PR to address how to record and expose the number of dropped entities.
