From this guide to Micronaut Tracing:
If the Tracing annotations and existing instrumentations are not sufficient, Micronaut’s tracing integration registers a io.opentracing.Tracer bean which exposes the Open Tracing API and can be dependency-injected as needed.
Considering the OpenTracing project has been deprecated with users being encouraged to migrate to OpenTelemetry, I really want to avoid this behavior.
I have set up tracing with OpenTelemetry through autoconfiguration in Micronaut's application.yml, and as far as I can tell everything is working correctly. I've confirmed this using both the logging and OTLP exporters, but I'm unable to disable jaeger as Micronaut still wants to register an io.opentracing.Tracer.
I've taken a look at Micronaut's source code but I haven't been able to find the part responsible for making this call. What exactly does Micronaut require before it stops trying to register an OpenTracing tracer? "Not sufficient" is very vague.
