Jaeger Collector gRPC Connection Pool: Unclear Backpressure Policy on Stream Exhaustion
Goal The Jaeger Collector exposes a gRPC server whose concurrent stream capacity is controlled by the grpc-server.max-concurrent-streams setting. When bursts of span ingestion exceed this limit, the collector may queue or reject new streams, leading to intermittent connection pool exhaustion that manifests as client reconnection storms. Uncertainty However,
