From the README
This is a repository for OpenTelemetry Collector components that are not suitable for the core repository of the collector.
The official distributions, core and contrib, are available as part of the opentelemetry-collector-releases repository. Some of the components in this repository are part of the "core" distribution, such as the Jaeger and Prometheus components, but most of the components here are only available as part of the "contrib" distribution. Users of the OpenTelemetry Collector are also encouraged to build their own custom distributions with the OpenTelemetry Collector Builder, using the components they need from the core repository, the contrib repository, and possibly third-party or internal repositories.
Each component has its own support levels, as defined in the following sections. For each signal that a component supports, there's a stability level, setting the right expectations. It is possible then that a component will be Stable for traces but Alpha for metrics and Development for logs.
Stability level for components in this repository follow the definitions from the OpenTelemetry Collector repository.
