What happened?

Description

When using OTel Collector with X-Ray Receiver/Exporter, X-Ray Segment gets converted into OpenTelemetry Span (via X-Ray Receiver) and then later gets converted into X-Ray Segment (via X-Ray Exporter).

In X-Ray Receiver, we explicitly convert the in_progress Segment field attribute into the aws.xray.inprogress attribute.

• https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/v0.138.0/receiver/awsxrayreceiver/internal/translator/translator.go#L169

In X-Ray Exporter, we don't convert the aws.xray.inprogress attribute back into the in_progress Segment field:

• https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/v0.138.0/exporter/awsxrayexporter/internal/translator/segment.go#L336-L350

Therefore the in_progress functionality does not function as it was intended as it is now part of metadata instead of being a Segment field. The Segment doesn't have the ability to be updated later since it isn't correctly labeled as in_progress in X-Ray.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use X-Ray Receiver + X-Ray Exporter
2. Send segment to OTel Collector's X-Ray Receier:

cat sample-trace.json | nc -u 127.0.0.1 2000

sample-trace.json:

{"format":"json","version":1}
{"type":"segment","trace_id":"1-64d8bfaf-fd72e26886b3fdd3a272224e","id":"6222467a3d841238","start_time":1759136781.313,"in_progress":true,"name":"testName","user":"213456","origin":"AWS::EC2::Instance","namespace":"aws","aws":{"account_id":"123456789012"}}

Expected Result

X-Ray Segment should have in_progress as a Segment field (exactly like in sample-trace.json).

Actual Result

X-Ray Segment has in_progress as metadata.
