All infrastructure for LogRecord is internal

[jeremy-morren]

Package

OpenTelemetry

Is your feature request related to a problem?

All infrastructure (pool, constructors) for LogRecord is internal. This makes it impossible without reflection to create any kind of logging infrastructure that emits LogRecord.

What is the expected behavior?

At minimum, make LogRecord constructor public.

opentelemetry-dotnet/src/OpenTelemetry/Logs/LogRecord.cs

Line 32 in a8f1076

internal LogRecord()

Create public property for ScopeProvider, which cannot be set at all right now.

public IExternalScopeProvider? ScopeProvider
{
    get => this.ILoggerData.ScopeProvider;
    set => this.ILoggerData.ScopeProvider = value;
}

Which alternative solutions or features have you considered?

Make an implementation of ILogRecordPool public so that Rent() and Return methods can be used.

Hi @jeremy-morren, I'm trying to understand this issue.
Can you please share more details about your workflow, what you're trying to accomplish?

I don't have full context on the LogRecord implementation, but my understanding is that users would interact with the ILogger APIs.
We're not likely to make the full implementation public, but if there's a specific scenario that you can't accomplish that would help us scope to what's needed.
