WalkthroughThe epoch conversion now returns the current UTC timestamp for zero input. Nonzero values retain nanosecond conversion. Tests cover both behaviors. ChangesEpoch Timestamp Conversion
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change is intended to replace missing OTLP timestamps with the current UTC time, but JSON log payloads with a null timestamp can still fail deserialization before the fallback runs, leaving affected ingestion requests rejected. The PR is not merge-ready until that path is handled. Suggested reviewers: Poem

opentelemetry-proto Rust generated LogRecord time_unix_nano serde null deserialize
💡 Result:
In the opentelemetry-proto Rust crate, fields defined as u64 representing Unix nanosecond timestamps (such as time_unix_nano in LogRecord) are configured for OTLP JSON compatibility using custom Serde serialization/deserialization helpers [1]. These helpers, found in crate::proto::serializers, expect the u64 values to be encoded as strings in JSON, consistent with the Protobuf JSON mapping specification [1]. If you encounter issues with null values or deserialization failures, consider the following points: 1. Handling of null: The opentelemetry-proto crate's with-serde implementation generally expects valid Protobuf JSON [2][1]. If an incoming JSON payload provides null for a u64 field, the standard deserialize_string_to_u64 helper may fail, as it expects a string containing a valid integer [3]. If your source emits null for missing timestamps, you may need a wrapper or a custom deserializer that treats null as the default value (typically 0 for OTLP timestamps) [4][5]. 2. String Encoding: Ensure that your JSON producer is sending 64-bit integers as strings (e.g., "timeUnixNano": "1544712660300000000") [6][1]. The crate includes specific deserializers (e.g., deserialize_string_to_u64) to handle this conversion [3][1]. 3. Known Issues and Workarounds: The opentelemetry-rust repository has seen various issues regarding strict Serde deserialization of OTLP/JSON [7][2]. If you are experiencing failures with null or empty fields, it is often due to the generated code's strict expectations [7]. Recent efforts in the upstream crate have focused on making OTLP/JSON ingestion more lenient, including handling null or missing fields in AnyValue [8], but specific u64 fields often require explicit conversion handling if they deviate from the expected string-serialized format [2][1]. For robust production ingestion, many users implement a pre-processing step to sanitize incoming OTLP JSON (e.g., stripping null fields or converting numeric types to strings) before passing the data to the opentelemetry-proto deserializer [8].

site:github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust v0.32.0 deserialize_string_to_u64 null
💡 Result:
In the opentelemetry-rust crate (specifically opentelemetry-proto), the deserialize_string_to_u64 function is a custom Serde deserializer used to handle the conversion of 64-bit integers that are transmitted as strings in JSON payloads, a common requirement in the OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol) JSON specification [1][2][3]. As of version 0.32.0, this function is known to be restrictive [1][4]. Specifically, it only accepts quoted strings and will reject raw JSON numbers (e.g., {"count": 123} will fail, while {"count": "123"} succeeds), despite the Protobuf JSON mapping specification requiring parsers to accept both numbers and strings for 64-bit integers [1][4]. Users have reported this as a bug because it causes serialization failures when upstream senders use native JSON numeric types instead of strings [1][2][4]. While your query mentions "null," note that the primary issue reported with this specific function relates to type strictness rather than null handling [1][4]. Separate issues exist in the crate regarding the handling of null values for other types, such as AnyValue fields (e.g., issue #3603) [5][6], but deserialize_string_to_u64 itself is primarily constrained by its expectation of a string input [1][7][4].
