Miroslav Zagorac f05a6735b1 MEDIUM: otel: added memory pool and runtime scope layer
Added the memory pool management and the runtime scope layer that track
per-stream OTel spans and contexts during request processing.

The pool layer in pool.c manages HAProxy memory pools for the runtime
structures used by the filter: scope spans, scope contexts, runtime
contexts, and span contexts.  Each pool is conditionally compiled via
USE_POOL_OTEL_* macros defined in config.h and registered with
REGISTER_POOL().  The allocation functions (flt_otel_pool_alloc,
flt_otel_pool_strndup, flt_otel_pool_free) transparently fall back to
heap allocation when the corresponding pool is not enabled.  Trash buffer
helpers (flt_otel_trash_alloc, flt_otel_trash_free) provide scratch space
using either HAProxy's trash chunk pool or direct heap allocation.

The scope layer in scope.c implements the per-stream runtime state.  The
flt_otel_runtime_context structure is allocated when a stream starts and
holds the stream and filter references, hard-error/disabled/logging flags
copied from the instrumentation configuration, idle timeout state, a
generated UUID, and lists of active scope spans and extracted scope
contexts.  Scope spans (flt_otel_scope_span) carry the operation name,
fetch direction, the OTel span handle, and optional parent references
resolved from other spans or extracted contexts.  Scope contexts
(flt_otel_scope_context) hold an extracted span context obtained from
a carrier text map via the tracer.  The scope data structures
(flt_otel_scope_data) aggregate growable key-value arrays for attributes
and baggage, a linked list of named events with their own attribute
arrays, and a span status code with description, representing the
telemetry collected during a single event execution.

HAProxy

alpine/musl AWS-LC Illumos NetBSD FreeBSD VTest

HAProxy logo

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

Installation

The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.

Getting help

The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.

The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.

Documentation

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:

  • INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  • BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  • LICENSE for the project's license
  • CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory:
