Parsing console output json objects into ReadableSpan objects

[uptickmetachu]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I would like to be able to easily parse span objects outputted to stdout via ConsoleSpanExporter into actual span objects with which I can manually export via opentelemetry.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a ReadableSpan.from_json(XXX) or ReadableSpan.from_dict

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional Context

I'm writing a script to instrument bash commands during CI. There is currently overhead when exporting to a remote GRPC otel server (while using the python library).

I'm currently writing a python equivalent of otel-cli and I would like to write out console spans to a file/directory and then re-export these spans at the end of a CI pipeline or upload them as an artifact to be parsed by a python library.

Would you like to implement a fix?
