[docs/collector/scaling, docs/collector/deployment] Describe how to deal with single-writer principle about opentelemetry.io HOT 8 OPEN

/assign erharjotsingh
Hello @mx-psi
Could you please help with some more details on expected results. Thanks

from opentelemetry.io.

@erharjotsingh you still are assigned to this issue, I just removed your assignment since we do not assign issues in our repository to non-regular contributors. Thanks for offering your help! Do not hesitate to raise an incomplete PR with questions for us!

Thanks @michael2893, please make sure you sign the CLA, afterwards I am happy to provide you with some initial feedback.

from opentelemetry.io.

@erharjotsingh Sure!

This would be a new section on our documentation that describes, in an user-friendly way:

1. What the single-writer principle is (you can see the link above to the spec definition)
2. What kinds of problems it can cause
3. How you can avoid running into this issue in your Collector deployment.

Additionally, you would have to figure out what page is the best to fit this content: either collector/scaling or collector/deployment seem like a good fit to me.

hello!

I have never contributed before, and I have opened a draft PR.

I really want to make sure I understand the crux of the issue, and I am able to address it in a documentation update. So please do let me know if I am starting in the right place, or if I am a bit off base in what needs discussed.

The change is not ready for serious review, but I want to make sure I am thinking about this correctly as a new contributor.

Thanks @svrnm for offering to look on PR. But as I see now someone else landed and started providing PR, as its unassigned issue.
Hopefully process will be improved in future for this project.

@erharjotsingh I am very sorry that this happened this way. I didn't realize that between you offering to provide a PR and @michael2893 raising one was only 3 days. This was a human error on my end, which also could not have been avoided by assigning this issue.

Hi, 👋

I certainly didn't mean to cause an issue here! I'm quite sorry about that.

I think I overlooked the timeframe, and only noted that the issue had been unassigned.

The topic was interesting to me so I think I may have been a bit hasty.
