What Does This Do
This adds hard limits on the size of the data representing the span activation intervals.
Motivation
The span metadata size (this includes the span tags) is limited to 25000 bytes - therefore it does not make sense to generate and keep more data if that is going to be discarded anyway. It is better to have the limit applied directly in the agent where we have control over when to cut off the data collection (saving CPU cycles) and the data export (where we can assure valid data).
Additional Notes
For the sakes of minimizing the costs of
Long.valueOf()
this change is also adding a few classes from JCTools which are necessary to supportNonBlockingHashMapLong
class that is used instead ofConcurrentHashMap
.The JCTools classes are stripped to the bare minimum required for the code to run and they are not adding a significant weight to the agent jar.
