Handling Retryable error for OTLP exporter

[mks26]

Hi,

If OTel collector is down or due to some other reason if OTLP exporter received Retryable error code, are we doing any retry operation in opentelemetry-cpp sdk. I didn't find any code that does retry for OTLP exporters (both OTLP/GRPC and OTLP/HTTP).

Error codes that are retryable and non-retryable is mentioned in OTLP spec at :
https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/protocol/otlp/

OTLP/GRPC: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/protocol/otlp/#failures
OTLP/HTTP : https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/protocol/otlp/#failures-1

If it is not implemented yet, this can be a candidate for feature.

Thanks,
Mukesh

Yes, retry is not supported. Please feel free to create separate GitHub issues for OTLP/gRPC and OTLP/HTTP.
