policies. All spans for a given trace _must_ be received by the same collector
instance for effective sampling decisions.

The `tail_sampling` component uses both soft and hard limits, where the hard limit
is always equal or larger than the soft limit. When memory usage goes above the
soft limit, the processor component drops data and returns errors to the
preceding components in the pipeline. When usage exceeds the hard
limit, the processor forces a garbage collection in order to try and free
memory. When usage is below the soft limit, no data is dropped and no forced
garbage collection is performed.
