 If no `routing_key` is configured, the default routing mechanism is `traceID`  for traces, while `service` is the default for metrics. This means that spans belonging to the same `traceID` (or `service.name`, when `service` is used as the `routing_key`) will be sent to the same backend.

 * The `routing_key` property is used to specify how to route values (spans or metrics) to exporters based on different parameters. This functionality is currently enabled only for `trace` and `metric` pipeline types. It supports one of the following values:
-  * `service`: Routes values based on their service name. This is useful when using processors like the span metrics, so all spans for each service are sent to consistent collector instances for metric collection. Otherwise, metrics for the same services are sent to different collectors, making aggregations inaccurate. In addition to resource / span attributes, `span.kind`, `span.name` (the top level properties of a span) are also supported.
-  * `attributes`: Routes based on values in the attributes of the traces. This is similar to service, but useful for situations in which a single service overwhelms any given instance of the collector, and should be split over multiple collectors.
