Issue on Github for the deprecation
Firehose, as of release 0.2, has a dependency on jaeger-client. However, tracing is not used actively in Firehose in production and hence this dependency can be removed safely.
Is there a deadline ?
As per the notice on jaeger-tracing :
We plan to continue accepting pull requests and making new releases of Jaeger clients through the end of 2021.
In January 2022 we will enter a code freeze period for 6 months, during which we will no longer accept pull requests with
new features, with the exception of security-related fixes. After that we will archive the client library repositories and will
no longer accept new changes.
