Description

@antonpirker

Create a new integration MemcachedIntegration.

First check the Go OTEL memcache instrumentation (https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/bradfitz/gomemcache/memcache/otelmemcache) to see what data Otel is collecting.

Part of #2949

It should be similar as the RedisIntegration but as the first iteration only create cache spans as described here: #2965

The integration should be auto enabling and patch pymemcache.

(There is another lib that is still famous, but it is in maintenance mode and basically going to die: python-memcached We will not support this lib.)

Bonus:

  • Load test the cache spans generation and publish results somewhere to be confident that this will not add to much overhead.
