Summary

Adds OpenTelemetry standard metrics support for HTTP media downloads, simple/multipart/resumable uploads, and XML multipart upload (XMLMPU) operations in google-cloud-storage.

Stack Overview (review isolated commit cc3cba47aff for this PR):

Key Changes

  • HTTP Media Transport (_media/requests/_request_helpers.py, download.py, upload.py): Instruments Download, RawDownload, ChunkedDownload, RawChunkedDownload, SimpleUpload, MultipartUpload, ResumableUpload, XMLMPUContainer, and XMLMPUPart for per-attempt HTTP duration, streaming first-byte gcp.storage.client.ttfb, retries, errors, and logical payload body sizes.
  • Blob Media Entrypoints (blob.py): Instruments download_to_file, download_to_filename, download_as_bytes, download_as_text, upload_from_file, upload_from_filename, and upload_from_string.
  • Primary Failure Attribution (_helpers.py, blob.py): Adds _record_primary_exception so primary download/upload failures are preserved on logical metrics even if subsequent cleanup raises, without mutating caller exception chains.

Note: Blob's internal download/upload helpers map existing command="tm.upload_many" / "tm.download_many" arguments (already passed by transfer_manager on main) to storage.transfer_manager.*_many here so blob.py does not need to be modified again in PR 3c.

…d helpers

Implement core OpenTelemetry standard metrics infrastructure for GCS:
- Add _MetricsRecorder with the 9 standard metric instruments
- Add custom latency (165 buckets) and byte-size (45 buckets) histogram views
- Add classify_error_type for low-cardinality error.type mapping
- Add normalize_url_template for bounded HTTP url.template routing
- Add start_operation ContextVar for outermost logical operation tracking and nested call suppression

[Generated-by: AI]
- Add gcp.storage.client.retries counter and rename TTFB metric to gcp.storage.client.ttfb
- Remove gcp.client.repo from _COMMON_ATTRIBUTES
- Update _build_size_buckets to generate 48 buckets matching Go and Java SDKs
- Align per-metric attributes across logical operation, RPC/HTTP attempt, error, retry, and TTFB recorders

…fy CONNECTION_ERROR

- Scope histogram View registrations to meter_name="google.cloud.storage"
- Guard normalize_url_template and _extract_server_address against malformed URIs and gRPC authority schemes
- Consolidate CONNECTION_REFUSED, CONNECTION_RESET, and CONNECTIVITY error labels into CONNECTION_ERROR

…port

- Wire _MetricsRecorder lifecycle, enable_metrics, and meter_provider into Client
- Instrument Connection.api_request for per-attempt HTTP duration, TTFB, retries, and errors
- Add _start_storage_operation, _PropertyMixin, and lazy HTTPIterator page metrics helpers
- Skip per-attempt HTTP metrics while queuing sub-requests into Batch
- Suppress internal background BucketMetadataCache lookups from emitting user-facing metrics
… and resource APIs

- Instrument logical operations on Client and Bucket metadata, IAM, lifecycle, and list APIs
- Record Batch.finish() logical operation metrics while deferring queued sub-requests
- Instrument BucketACL, DefaultObjectACL, ObjectACL, HMACKeyMetadata, and BucketNotification
…ata APIs

- Instrument Blob JSON metadata operations including reload, update, patch, delete, copy, rewrite, compose, and restore
- Add logical operation metrics for Blob IAM policy and temporary/event-based hold helpers
…sfers

- Instrument _media/requests downloads, simple/multipart/resumable uploads, and XML MPU operations
- Record streaming download TTFB on first body chunk and logical payload body sizes once per operation
- Instrument Blob download_to_*, download_as_*, and upload_from_* entrypoints
- Preserve primary failure attribution when cleanup calls fail without mutating exception chains

Code Review

This pull request implements comprehensive OpenTelemetry standard metrics instrumentation across the Google Cloud Storage Python client. It introduces tracking for logical operations, network attempts, retries, payload sizes, and latency (TTFB) with custom histogram boundaries, canonical error classification, and route normalization. These metrics are integrated into core operations including downloads, uploads, ACLs, HMAC keys, notifications, and batch requests, supported by extensive unit tests. I have no feedback to provide as there are no review comments.
