opentelemetry collector & opentelemetry api version compatibility

[vinodkumarpandiyan]

Hi,
We are using opentelemetry api version 1.0.0 in one of our library. We are planning to upgrade it to 1.41.0.

Since we upgrade opentelemetry api & sdk to 1.41.0, we want to know what is the otelcollector compatible version.

I could not find any suitable supporting docs. Hence i contact you here.

Could you please assist?

Thanks

I assume you're referring to the version of opentelemetry-proto since opentelemetry-java isn't coupled to the version of the open telemetry collector in any way except through OTLP.

opentelemetry-java uses opentelemetry-proto v1.3.2.

Many opentelemetry-collector versions will support opentelemetry-proto 1.3.2 since protobuf messages have backwards compatibility.
