Add a new columnkindto thesystem.opentelemetry_span_log. This column holds the value of SpanKind defined in OpenTelemtry. #47499 (Frank Chen).
Why it matters
This feature enhances observability by providing explicit information about the type of span (such as client, server, producer, consumer, or internal) directly within ClickHouse's OpenTelemetry span logs, enabling better trace analysis and filtering.How to use it
Users can access the newkind column in the system.opentelemetry_span_log table as part of their query results without any additional configuration. Just query the table normally to retrieve the kind data.
