It provides a Config-based initialization pattern, support for sampling strategies, span logging, and optional Prometheus metrics integration. The library handles the mechanics of trace propagation via HTTP headers and can work with Zipkin-compatible backends.\n\nHowever, this package is deprecated and no longer maintained. The project's maintainers explicitly recommend migrating to OpenTelemetry instead. The last release was in September 2021, and the repository has been archived. While it may still work with older Jaeger deployments, it receives no updates, security patches, or support.","worth_installing":"No. This package is explicitly deprecated and abandoned. The maintainers urge all users to migrate to OpenTelemetry. No new releases are planned, the repository is archived, and the last commit was over 1795 days ago. Install only if you are maintaining legacy code that cannot yet migrate and your Jaeger backend still accepts this client's spans; otherwise, use OpenTelemetry."},"id":"jaeger-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jaeger-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jaeger-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/jaeger-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-09-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"jaeger-client","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Jaeger Python OpenTracing Tracer implementation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":226858,"position":9193,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.8.0"}
