Strong +1 from me, I'm working with clustered systems where being able to see the node identity would be a huge help.
I'm hacking around it with service name decoration in my agent. But this makes it painful in the webui because there's no convenient way to find "all services starting with (prefix)" etc.
I think option 3 is the easiest to implement.
In sharded storage implementations it's common for a request to one node to be forwarded to another node, e.g. Cassandra's coordinator node can talk to other nodes. The trace view currently colors spans by the service name only, so calls between different instances of the same service are colored the same, making it harder to understand without expanding the spans.
Some options to fix this:
cassandra[1], cassandra[2]
cassandra[host-001]
if there are multiple nodes involved in the trace
