TCP Request Support in OpenTracing #292

Closed TiMusBhardwaj closed 6 years ago

TiMusBhardwaj commented 6 years ago

Hi, I know open tracing works out of the box for HTTP request. But, I am need to Trace my TCP server requests. As I have just started working with opentracing, I am still on my learning curve. Any help or suggestion is welcome.

One problem I see, is TCP doesn't really have a way of generically passing along metadata, thus it would be very challenging to propagate the trace relationship without also defining a protocol that would be required to be implemented on both sides. If one side doesn't implement it, it might break.

Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

@TiMusBhardwaj this is a great question, but it probably belongs somewhere else. I'm closing this one, but feel free to leave a comment with more details about your use case, so that we can direct you to the best place to discuss this.
