Specifically, the documented sqs-java-messaging-lib does not support Binary type headers at all, and throws an exception. This is obviously not a great behavior for this library in the first place, but does represent a breaking interface change here in the trace layer that I cannot escape from currently. There are a couple ways out of this in that java library, all involving forking and adding functionality. But I'm wondering, the approach in this library continues to use the |
