Inconsistent SamplingDecision Names

[ejsmith]

• NotRecord
• Record
• RecordAndSampled

Seems like we should pick between present tense or past tense and make it consistent. Either Recorded / RecordedAndSampled or Record / RecordAndSample.

NotRecord doesn't make sense. It's not correct English. Maybe just Skip or DontRecord. Personally I like just Skip better. It's already in an enum so it's always going to be qualified like SamplingDecision.Skip.

My vote:

• SamplingDecision.Skip
• SamplingDecision.Record
• SamplingDecision.RecordAndSample

The names were borrowed from the spec.

Agree its not consistent.

We should try to change the spec naming as well.

Ahh, yeah, I was thinking that was probably the case. Seems unlikely that we would get the spec to change, right? Consistency across the implementations/spec is much more important than the individual names.

Small renamings are likely not controversial and you can try submitting a PR to the spec repo :)

This is done. Thank @ejsmith for making the fix in the spec itself :)
