.
can we expect to have kafka metrics

1. kafka_producer_message_count
2. kafka_consumer_message_count

Hey @Shivanireddie ,
We will implement consumer/producer metrics once the semantic conventions for them are specified in the OpenTelemetry specification.
Before that happens you can probably use the JMX metrics gatherer project from the contrib repo -- and if you're using the OTel collector, take a look at the JMX receiver too (it uses the aforementioned gatherer inside).

I'm actively working on implementing metric instrumentation for the kafka publisher and consumer semantic conventions.

@jack-berg The link for Kafka semantic convention is broken in your comment above. Could you link the correct semantic convention?
