Update opentelemetry-api and opentelemetry-sdk to < 2 (Updated) #7433
Description
Wanted to propose an update in the core OTel libraries in the dependencies section of pyproject.toml
opentelemetry-api<=1.42.1 —> opentelemetry-api<2 (
Line 43 in 666c26d
opentelemetry-sdk<=1.42.1 —> opentelemetry-sdk<2 (
Line 44 in 666c26d
If not possible, would love to know why are the version bumps not possible, where is the exact point which would break if the OTel versions are updated
Thanks

I’m interested in investigating this compatibility update, if nobody has already started. Current main still caps opentelemetry-api and opentelemetry-sdk at 1.42.1. I would first check dependency resolution with the telemetry extras/exporters and run the relevant telemetry tests against 1.44.0. If compatible, I would propose the smallest constraint update with validation evidence; if there is a real blocker, I would document it here rather than blindly raise the bounds.
I found no public claim or matching PR for this issue. If the author or another contributor already has work underway, please let me know so I can avoid duplication. Maintainers: is investigating this bump welcome, or are these upper bounds intentional?
I plan to use Codex assistance. This is an interest/coordination request; I’m prioritizing one contribution at a time rather than promising simultaneous delivery.

I am starting the compatibility investigation now, using Codex assistance. I will reproduce the current install restriction with OpenTelemetry 1.44.0, check dependency resolution for the telemetry extras, and run the telemetry tests against the proposed bounds. If those checks pass, I will submit a minimal dependency update with the validation results. I checked the issue timeline and open PRs again and found no public competing implementation; please let me know if work is already underway privately.

Hello @BrownMunda1,
Thank you for raising this. Could you provide some context regarding this request? Specifically are you encountering a dependency conflict with another package that requires a newer OpenTelemetry version or is there a particular feature or fix in version 1.44.0 that you require? If you are facing a conflict please share the package name and the associated error message.

@llalitkumarrr we're aiming to make use of splunk-opentelemetry for tracing. splunk-opentelemetry's version 2.12.1 is dependent on OTel 1.44.0. We just want to be able to make use of that latest version along with google-adk's latest version. If there is something for which google-adk has a hard dependency on OTel <=1.42.1, would love to know that

@llalitkumarrr @jawoszek Please have a look at the PR shared by @krisztianfekete, can we do it in a similar way for google-adk as well? Seems to be not breaking/blocking anything as per the PR raised by @reddynitish
Idea is to not be limited to 1.42.1

Actually can we go up to 1.45.1, this is holding back langfuse for me on v4 python SDK.

Notification: The author has updated the issue description. Maintainers, please review.

Second this. Version 1.45.1 is currently the only version available that is not affected by CVE-2026-114603.

This creates a dependency conflict with FastAPI:
opentelemetry-api ≤ 1.42.1 and opentelemetry-sdk ≤ 1.42.1
2. fastapi[standard]==0.162.0 (starting in FastAPI ≥ 0.142.0) adds built-in telemetry requiring:
opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http ≥ 1.44.0 and opentelemetry-api ≥ 1.44.0
3. Because google-adk caps OpenTelemetry at 1.42.1 and fastapi[standard] requires at least 1.44.0, they cannot coexist.

Have created a PR which addresses the issues above by bumping up to the latest otel versions available: #7756
@llalitkumarrr Please have a look!
