The javascript runners honour the x-request-id header by propagating its value to process.env.__OW_TRANSACTION_ID. this allows to easily track a set of actions that are invoked within one transaction.
Unfortunately, the process.env.__OW_TRANSACTION_ID is not sent along when using the openwhisk js client. all it would need is to set the x-request-id header accordingly when invoking an action.
