The Jaeger exporter was removed in version 1.22.0/0.43b0 (2023-12-15). The OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_* environment variables defined in the SDK are no longer used by any code and can be safely removed to avoid confusion. Variables removed: - OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_AGENT_HOST - OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_AGENT_PORT - OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_ENDPOINT - OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_USER - OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_PASSWORD - OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_TIMEOUT - OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_CERTIFICATE - OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_AGENT_SPLIT_OVERSIZED_BATCHES - OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_GRPC_INSECURE Fixes open-telemetry#4918
