Default is `otlp`. <ul><li>`otlp`: otel-trace-source will write each incoming ExportTraceServiceRequest as record data type into the buffer.</li><li>`event`: otel-trace-source will decode each incoming ExportTraceServiceRequest into collection of Data Prepper internal spans serving as buffer items. To achieve better performance in this mode, it is recommended to set the buffer capacity proportional to the estimated number of spans in the incoming request payload.</li></ul>
