Forks https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-contrib/blob/main/gcp-auth-extension/src/main/java/io/opentelemetry/

Why it is needed - gcp-auth-extension in otel adds auth to all exporters, once fixed, we will be able to remove this module.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a new extension module for Apache Beam that enables GCP authentication for OpenTelemetry OTLP exporters. By leveraging Google Application Default Credentials (ADC), this extension automatically configures exporters to include the necessary authorization headers when communicating with GCP telemetry endpoints, facilitating seamless integration with Google Cloud monitoring and tracing services.

Highlights

  • New Module Addition: Added a new module opentelemetry-gcp-auth-extension to provide GCP authentication support for OTLP exporters.
  • Build Configuration: Updated BeamModulePlugin.groovy to include necessary OpenTelemetry dependencies and registered the new module in settings.gradle.kts.
  • Authentication Logic: Implemented GcpAuthAutoConfigurationCustomizerProvider to handle ADC retrieval and inject authorization headers into OTLP exporters.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new extension module, opentelemetry-gcp-auth-extension, to provide GCP authentication support for OpenTelemetry OTLP exporters in Apache Beam. The review feedback highlights several critical improvements: lazily retrieving Google Application Default Credentials (ADC) to prevent application startup crashes when ADC is not configured and GCP is not targeted; avoiding resource leaks by ensuring the original exporters are shut down when new ones are built; preventing potential NullPointerExceptions during header flattening; and refining endpoint checks to avoid noisy warnings when non-GCP endpoints are used.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
For more details on the timeline and next steps, please review the Help Documentation.

Unconditionally calling GoogleCredentials.getApplicationDefault() during autoconfiguration initialization will throw a GoogleAuthException and crash the application startup if Application Default Credentials (ADC) are not configured, even if the OTLP exporter is not targeting GCP. To prevent this, retrieve the credentials lazily using a Supplier and only evaluate it when a GCP endpoint is actually targeted.

  @Override
  public void customize(@Nonnull AutoConfigurationCustomizer autoConfiguration) {
    java.util.function.Supplier<GoogleCredentials> credentialsSupplier =
        new java.util.function.Supplier<GoogleCredentials>() {
          private GoogleCredentials credentials;

          @Override
          public synchronized GoogleCredentials get() {
            if (credentials == null) {
              try {
                credentials = GoogleCredentials.getApplicationDefault();
              } catch (IOException e) {
                throw new GoogleAuthException(Reason.FAILED_ADC_RETRIEVAL, e);
              }

Update customizeSpanExporter to accept a Supplier<GoogleCredentials> and only check/customize if the endpoint is actually a GCP endpoint. This avoids logging noisy warnings when GCP is not targeted.

Separate the check for a GCP endpoint from the check for whether a signal is targeted. This prevents logging warnings for non-GCP endpoints.

  private static boolean isGcpEndpoint(String checkSignal, ConfigProperties configProperties) {
    String endpoint = configProperties.getString("otel.exporter.otlp." + checkSignal + ".endpoint");
    if (endpoint == null) {
      endpoint = configProperties.getString("otel.exporter.otlp.endpoint");
    }
    return endpoint != null
        && (endpoint.startsWith("https://telemetry.googleapis.com")
            || endpoint.startsWith("https://telemetry.mtls.googleapis.com"));
  }

  // Checks if the auth extension is configured to target the passed signal for authentication.
  private static boolean isSignalTargeted(String checkSignal, ConfigProperties configProperties) {
    if (!isGcpEndpoint(checkSignal, configProperties)) {
      return false;
    }
    String userSpecifiedTargetedSignals =
        ConfigurableOption.GOOGLE_OTEL_AUTH_TARGET_SIGNALS.getConfiguredValueWithFallback(

When customizing the SpanExporter via toBuilder().build(), a new exporter instance is created with its own resources (like HTTP clients or gRPC channels). The original exporter instance is discarded without being shut down, which leaks these resources. Call exporter.shutdown() on the original exporter before returning the new one.

  private static SpanExporter addAuthorizationHeaders(
      SpanExporter exporter, GoogleCredentials credentials, ConfigProperties configProperties) {
    if (exporter instanceof OtlpHttpSpanExporter) {
      OtlpHttpSpanExporterBuilder builder =
          ((OtlpHttpSpanExporter) exporter)
              .toBuilder()
              .setHeaders(() -> getRequiredHeaderMap(credentials, configProperties));
      SpanExporter newExporter = builder.build();
      exporter.shutdown();
      return newExporter;

If gcpHeaders contains any entry with a null value, calling entry.getValue().stream() will throw a NullPointerException. Add a null check for entry.getValue() to make the header flattening more robust.
