Milestone 1: Update documentation defaults from v1 to v2

[Copilot]

Implements Milestone 1 from docs/release/remove-v1-checklist.md: ensure documentation and examples default to v2 images/binaries without breaking CI or release automation.

Changes

Documentation updates

• CONTRIBUTING.md: Show v2 as primary dev option (go run ./cmd/jaeger --config ./cmd/jaeger/config.yaml), v1 as legacy
• docker-compose/monitor/README.md: Remove v1 examples, update tracegen to latest, simplify terminology
• examples/hotrod/README.md: Change examples from all-in-one:latest to jaeger:latest, version from 1.52 to 2.0.0

Verified no changes needed

All CI test scripts and docker-compose files already use v2 by default or accept explicit version parameters:

• scripts/e2e/{kafka,spm}.sh already default to v2
• scripts/e2e/{elasticsearch,cassandra}.sh require explicit parameters (CI passes them)
• docker-compose/*/Makefile build v2 binaries or use explicit version flags
• examples/otel-demo/deploy-all.sh uses jaegertracing/jaeger:latest

Impact

• Developers see v2 examples by default
• CI matrix tests remain unchanged (explicitly pass v1/v2 as needed)
• v1 compatibility preserved: docker-compose-v1.yml, dev-v1 targets, CI matrix parameters
• Release automation untouched

Example

Before:

docker run -p16686:16686 jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest

After:

docker run -p16686:16686 jaegertracing/jaeger:latest

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• cr.jaegertracing.io
  • Triggering command: /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose compose up -d (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Original prompt

Goal: Implement Milestone 1 from docs/release/remove-v1-checklist.md by removing default usage of v1 artifacts in convenience Makefiles, example scripts, and CI-invoked test helpers. This is a non-breaking, reversible change: release/publish automation that actually produces v1 artifacts must remain able to do so (no changes to core release scripts that publish artifacts).

Scope (files to modify):

• docker-compose/tail-sampling/Makefile
  • Replace any default variables that set JAEGER_VERSION to a v1 value with v2 defaults (e.g. JAEGER_VERSION=2.0.0 or use the repo's v2-suffix convention). If the file provides convenience targets that default to v1 images, update them to use v2 or remove v1 convenience targets.
• docker-compose/monitor/Makefile
  • Update dev convenience targets and README example lines to use v2 images by default.
• examples/otel-demo/deploy-all.sh
  • If the script defaults to v1 images, change defaults to v2; preserve an explicit legacy flag to deploy v1 if needed.
• scripts/e2e/* (only test helpers invoked by CI)
  • Identify helper scripts used by CI e2e jobs that default to v1 and change their defaults to v2. Do not alter release/publish scripts.
• scripts/utils/compare_metrics.py
  • Make v2 metrics the default for compare helpers invoked by CI. Keep ability to compare v1 via explicit flag (no breaking change for test assertions).
• README/example lines that are invoked by CI or referenced in release docs
  • Update documented example commands to use v2 by default where they would be used by maintainers or CI.
• Small convenience Makefile targets / scripts referenced in documentation or used by CI tests
  • Replace v1 defaults with v2; remove legacy v1 targets where appropriate.

Implementation details:

• Keep changes minimal: change default literal values, update example lines, and remove v1-only convenience shortcuts if present.
• Preserve any explicit support for generating or publishing v1 artifacts in the core release automation (these are out of scope for this PR).
• Add clear PR description and tests in the PR body listing exactly which files changed and why.
• Create branch chore/remove-v1-usage (off main) and open a pull request with the changes.

Testing / Validation plan (to include in PR):

1. Run repository CI (staging) to ensure tests still pass and no CI job pulls v1 images by default.
2. Run docker-compose examples that were updated (tail-sampling, monitor) locally and confirm default images are v2.
3. Run examples/otel-demo/deploy-all.sh in dry-run and confirm it will deploy v2 images by default.
4. Run scripts/e2e tests used by CI and ensure compare_metrics.py defaults to v2 metrics; validate no regressions.
5. Sanity-check that core release/publish scripts remain unchanged and still compile if used to produce v1 artifacts.

PR metadata:

• Branch name: chore/remove-v1-usage
• Title: Milestone 1: remove v1 usage — change defaults to v2
• Reviewers: @yurishkuro and CI/release owners (leave as review request)
• Include link to docs/release/remove-v1-checklist.md and reference Issue [Feature]: Upgrade release process to v2 only #7497 in the PR body.
