Indicates that the span covers the client-side wrapper around an RPC or
other remote request.
Consumer
Indicates that the span describes consumer receiving a message from a
broker. Unlike client and server, there is no direct critical path
latency relationship between producer and consumer spans (e.g. receiving
a message from a pubsub service subscription).
Internal
Indicates that the span is used internally. Default value.
Producer
Indicates that the span describes producer sending a message to a broker.
Unlike client and server, there is no direct critical path latency
relationship between producer and consumer spans (e.g. publishing a
message to a pubsub service).
Server
Indicates that the span covers server-side handling of an RPC or other
remote network request.
Unspecified
Unspecified. Do NOT use as default.
Implementations MAY assume SpanKind.INTERNAL to be default.
