Follow-up to #5509. That PR added
already_shutdowncounting to the batch (span and log) and simple log processors, but intentionally leftSimpleSpanProcessorunchanged because it had no shutdown gate: it kept passing spans ended aftershutdown()to the (already shut down) exporter. This adds that gate, matching the other processors and the semantic conventions.After
shutdown(),SimpleSpanProcessornow drops ended spans instead of passing them to the exporter, and counts them onotel.sdk.processor.span.processedwitherror.type=already_shutdown.Note this is a behavior change: spans ended after
shutdown()are no longer passed to the exporter.
