Jaeger Collector API

The Jaeger Collector API receives trace spans from instrumented applications and SDKs. Since Jaeger v1.11 the primary protocol is the jaeger.api_v2.CollectorService gRPC endpoint; the collector also accepts OTLP traces (binary gRPC, Protobuf over HTTP, JSON over HTTP) since v1.35, as well as legacy Thrift over UDP and HTTP formats.
