 * Reporter serves as class handling finished spans.

 * as the implementation. However, if the inspectit agent is active on the target application, the
 * "real" reporter will be used which sends spans to the inspectIT CMR. In this case the
 * initialization of the reported and the tracer is done by inspectIT and can be obtained in
 * {@link rocks.inspectit.agent.java.sdk.opentracing.TracerProvider}.
