The reason for this improvement (apart that, in general, it is good to
have better performance) is there may be good use case to use a
`SimpleProcessor` to emit logs efficiently to standard output. It could
be one of the most efficient solutions (from application performance
perspective) and thanks to such configuration the user would not lose
any logs if the application suddenly crashes. For instance, a useful
configuration could be a simple processor with an OTLP file exporter
(#5408).

I think we might consider changing the following portion of
`SimpleProcessor` documentation (but I would prefer to do it as separate
PR):

> // This Processor is not recommended for production use. The
synchronous
// nature of this Processor make it good for testing, debugging, or
// showing examples of other features, but it can be slow and have a
high
// computation resource usage overhead. [NewBatchProcessor] is
recommended
// for production use instead.

Hi @pellared!

Before doing this one, as stated in #5500, maybe it will be necessary to introduce something that can serialize the data into the OpenTelemetry JSON format.

Because as you mentioned here, we can add a public function into a otlplogfile package, but is it coherent with what the package is responsible for? I mean that IMHO, the otlplogfile package should be responsible for appending log records to a JSON file.

If we extract the serialization part into another internal (or public, if it makes sense) package such as otlpserde (naming is just an example), we can use a dependency into otlplogfile and stdoutlog, so the format will be consistent across the different implementations.

What do you think about it?

stdoutlog is intended to be used mainly for debugging therefore it aims for human-readability.

otlplogfile is on the other hand MUST serialize telemetry in computer-readable format as defined in the specification.

I suggest not extracting any separate package until necessary.

During last SIG meeting (#5743 (comment)) we decided that we do not want to maintain such exporter until it is stable.

@thomasgouveia, it may be worth to move the exporter you have created in #5743 to a separate repository and maintain it there. I can help you in maintaining it.

@pellared may it be located in the contrib repository? Or the contrib focuses only on stable implementation?

If we can't put it in the contrib repository, I can transfer it to a repository on my account, until the specification is stable.

During SIG it was recommended to not put it to contrib as well yet.

I can transfer it to a repository on my account, until the specification is stable.

Let's do this.

A shout-out to work related to OTLP File exporter:

However, let's wait until it is stable in the specification as we miss velocity to maintain an new experimental module at this point of time.
