PROBLEM

While reading through the scheduler's Bind handler, I noticed that when a /bind request is slow, there is no easy way to figure out which step is causing the delay.
The Bind workflow runs several steps one after another, it looks up the pod from cache, looks up the node, acquires a node-level lock to prevent GPU over-allocation, patches annotations on the pod, and finally calls the apiserver to bind the pod to the node.
If any of these steps is slow, the operator only sees the total request time. There is no breakdown on whether the slowness came from lock contention, the API server, or something else. The only option right now is to manually parse scheduler logs, which is not practical during incidents.

Solution

I added optional OpenTelemetry distributed tracing to the Bind workflow. It is gated behind a new --enable-tracing flag that defaults to false, so nothing changes for existing users who do not set it. When the flag is off, a no-op tracer provider is installed, making all tracing calls virtually zero-cost.

When tracing is enabled, each /bind request produces a root span (hami.scheduler.bind) with five child spans inside it, one for each step of the bind process:

  • pod_lookup = time spent fetching the pod from the informer cache
  • node_lookup = time spent fetching the target node
  • node_lock = time spent waiting for the node-level GPU lock (this is where contention shows up)
  • patch_annotations =time spent patching GPU allocation annotations onto the pod
  • apiserver_bind =time spent on the final bind call to the Kubernetes API server

Each span carries attributes like hami.bind.phase, hami.bind.result, and hami.bind.error_kind, so operators can filter traces by outcome or error type. The custom attributes all use the hami. prefix to stay consistent with the existing hami_* Prometheus metric namespace.

I also found and fixed a small bug while working on this: the apiserver bind call at scheduler.go was using context.Background() instead of the request context. This meant that if kube-scheduler timed out the HTTP request, the bind call would keep running in the background instead of getting cancelled. It now uses the proper request context so cancellation propagates correctly.

What changed

  • New package pkg/scheduler/tracing/ — contains the OTel SDK setup (tracing.go) and bind-specific span helpers (bind_instrument.go). The helpers ensure consistent span naming and attribute keys across the codebase.
  • pkg/scheduler/routes/route.go — instrumented the HTTP Bind handler with a root server span, HTTP-level attributes (http.route, http.status_code), and error tracking for decode/marshal failures.
  • pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go — instrumented the internal Scheduler.Bind method with child spans for each phase. Updated the method signature to accept context.Context so span context flows through. Fixed the leaked context.Background() in the apiserver bind call.
  • pkg/scheduler/scheduler_test.go — updated all Bind test call-sites to pass context.Background() for the new signature.
  • pkg/scheduler/routes/route_test.go — added a test that enables tracing with a span recorder and verifies that the bind handler emits the expected hami.scheduler.bind span.
  • cmd/scheduler/main.go — added the --enable-tracing CLI flag and wired the tracing init/shutdown lifecycle with a proper timeout on shutdown.
  • docs/develop/tracing-design.md — added a design document covering the span model, attributes, what is in scope, and what is intentionally left out of this implementation.

All unit tests pass locally. Default scheduler behaviour is completely unchanged when the flag is not set.

Refs: #2126

AI Assistance Disclosure: I used an AI coding assistant to help me write the refactoring code and the tests, but I have manually reviewed, tested, and understood all the logic myself.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7d346

The PR adds optional Bind tracing, but it is not merge-ready until request cancellation is propagated correctly and scheduler-level failures are recorded as tracing errors rather than successes. The tracing design also needs bounded-export and workload-identifier handling documented so operators understand possible trace loss and data exposure.

Poem

A rabbit reads spans in the scheduler’s trail,
With JSON whiskers and a bounded queue rail.
Bind phases hop through lookup and lock,
Errors leave footprints beside every clock.
“No tracing?” The noop hare keeps still—
Then graceful shutdown nibbles the hill.

Mark result-only scheduler failures on the root span.

When Scheduler.Bind returns nil error with a non-empty ExtenderBindingResult.Error, call tracing.MarkBindError before marshaling the response. This covers node lookup, node lock, annotation patch, and API-server bind failures.

NVIDIA NVML nvmlDeviceGetUtilizationRates NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED MIG enabled GPUs documentation

💡 Result:

The NVML function nvmlDeviceGetUtilizationRates is not supported for MIG-enabled GPU instances, and calling it on such a device will typically result in the NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED error [1][2][3]. According to official NVIDIA documentation, NVML and standard tools like nvidia-smi do not support the attribution of utilization metrics to specific MIG devices [2][4]. When these tools are used in a MIG-enabled environment, utilization is often reported as N/A or may return errors, depending on how the handle is queried [5][2][3]. For monitoring utilization on MIG-enabled GPUs, NVIDIA recommends using the NVIDIA Data Center GPU Manager (DCGM) [2][4]. DCGM provides support for a range of profiling metrics tailored for MIG configurations that are not accessible via standard NVML utilization queries [6][2]. For further details on implementing this, consult the Profiling Metrics section within the latest NVIDIA DCGM User Guide [2][4].

Run health collection when utilization is unavailable.

collectGPUUtilizationMetrics returns NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED for MIG-enabled GPU instances. This prevents temperature and power metrics from being collected.

Run utilization and health collection independently, then return the first error.

Preserve the Bind root context for every phase.

Start each phase from the unchanged ctx. Store the returned phase context separately when the phase operation accepts a context. Otherwise, later phases become nested under earlier phases, and tracing.RecordError(ctx, err) records on an ended phase span instead of the Bind root span.

OpenTelemetry Go v1.45.0 otel.SetTracerProvider global tracer provider implementation shutdown restore

💡 Result:

In the OpenTelemetry Go SDK, calling Shutdown on a TracerProvider is a terminal, one-time operation [1][2][3]. Once Shutdown is invoked, the TracerProvider transitions into a state where it stops processing new spans and any further calls to its methods become no-ops [4][1][3]. There is no native mechanism to "restore" or re-initialize a TracerProvider instance after it has been shut down [4][1][2]. Key behaviors regarding shutdown include: 1. Terminal State: The Shutdown method performs essential cleanup, such as shutting down registered span processors and releasing computational resources [1][2]. After this call, the TracerProvider ignores new requests [4][1]. 2. Global Tracer Provider: When using otel.SetTracerProvider to register a global provider, calling Shutdown on that provider instance effectively renders the global provider a no-op [4][1]. If you must restart or re-initialize telemetry, you would need to create a new TracerProvider instance and register it using otel.SetTracerProvider again [4]. 3. Resource Management: To avoid silent data loss, always call Shutdown (typically via defer) to ensure pending spans in the batch processor are flushed before the application process terminates [5][6]. If the application exits before Shutdown completes, buffered telemetry data in memory may be lost [6]. If you are implementing a pattern where you need to "reset" the global provider, you must instantiate a fresh TracerProvider and pass it to otel.SetTracerProvider, rather than attempting to restore the previously shutdown instance [4].

OpenTelemetry Go stdouttrace.New default writer stdout WithWriter documentation

💡 Result:

The function stdouttrace.New is the standard way to initialize a trace exporter that writes to standard output in the OpenTelemetry Go SDK [1][2][3]. It is part of the go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdouttrace package [4][5]. Function Signature and Usage The function is defined as: func New(options...Option) (*Exporter, error) It accepts a variadic list of Option parameters to configure the exporter [1]. You typically use it to create an exporter instance, which is then registered with a tracer provider using a batch or simple span processor [2][3][6]. Common Options While the exporter can be initialized without arguments (using default settings), it is commonly configured with options such as: - stdouttrace.WithPrettyPrint: Formats the output with indentation, making it easier to read during development [2][3][6]. - stdouttrace.WithWriter(io.Writer): Allows you to specify a custom destination for the output instead of the default os.Stdout [1]. Example Implementation Below is a typical pattern for initializing the stdout trace exporter: import ( "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdouttrace" "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace") func newTracerProvider (*trace.TracerProvider, error) { // Initialize the exporter with pretty printing exporter, err:= stdouttrace.New(stdouttrace.WithPrettyPrint) if err!= nil { return nil, err } // Register with a TracerProvider tp:= trace.NewTracerProvider( trace.WithBatcher(exporter),) return tp, nil } This exporter is primarily intended for development and debugging purposes [3][6]. For production environments, the OpenTelemetry project recommends using OTLP exporters [4][7][8].

left two questions inline. this also adds a new direct dependency, opentelemetry sdk, four new go.mod entries, for a feature the title calls poc. worth checking if maintainers want that dependency in tree now, or if this should start as a design doc first like other big features here.

this used to be context.background(). now it uses the request ctx. if kube-scheduler cancels the http call, this bind to apiserver can be cut off mid flight, and we may not know if it landed. is that a safe tradeoff for a write call?

you're totally correct that cutting off a write call mid-flight is too risky.

I've reverted it back to context.Background() in the latest commit. The OTel span will still accurately track the timing of the call, it just won't cancel the actual API request if the HTTP connection drops. I have also added a small comment there to explain this.

The tracing implementation lives in `pkg/scheduler/tracing/` and consists of two files:

- **`tracing.go`** — Sets up the global `TracerProvider`. When tracing is enabled, it creates a stdout exporter with `AlwaysSample` and registers it as the global provider. The exporter is wired with `SimpleSpanProcessor` (synchronous `Export` on every `span.End()`), not the default batched processor. A PoC wants every span to reach the exporter; a batched processor can drop spans buffered in memory on `SIGKILL`. The per-span perf cost is irrelevant for opt-in debugging tracing. When disabled, the package installs a no-op provider.

OpenTelemetry Go SDK SimpleSpanProcessor synchronous OnEnd Export official documentation

💡 Result:

The SimpleSpanProcessor in the OpenTelemetry Go SDK is a span processor implementation designed to export spans synchronously as soon as they finish [1][2]. Key details regarding its OnEnd method and synchronous behavior: 1. Synchronous Export: The OnEnd method is called when a span ends [1][3]. In the SimpleSpanProcessor, this method immediately passes the finished span to the configured SpanExporter [4][2]. Because it performs the export operation during the OnEnd call, the operation is synchronous and blocking relative to the span's completion [4][1][3]. 2. Threading and Blocking: Consistent with the OpenTelemetry specification, the OnEnd method is called synchronously within the span's End call [3]. Consequently, if the exporter is slow, it will delay the return of the application's span.End call [5]. For this reason, the official documentation and source comments explicitly advise against using SimpleSpanProcessor in production environments, recommending it instead for testing, debugging, or demonstration purposes where simplicity is preferred over performance [5]. 3. Implementation: Internally, the OnEnd method in the Go SDK uses a mutex (exporterMu) to synchronize access to the exporter, ensuring that export calls are not invoked concurrently [4][2]. It verifies that the exporter is not nil and that the span is sampled before initiating the export [4]. 4. Comparison with Batching: In contrast to the SimpleSpanProcessor, a BatchSpanProcessor enqueues spans to be exported in batches, which is the recommended approach for production to minimize performance overhead and resource usage [1][5]. Top results: [4][1][3][5][2]

Citations:


Avoid synchronous span export when tracing is enabled in production.

WithSyncer(exp) configures SimpleSpanProcessor, so each span.End() performs exporter I/O inline. A slow or blocked stdout consumer can delay /bind responses. Use a bounded BatchSpanProcessor with explicit export timeout, queue overflow, and shutdown behavior before enabling tracing in production.

Thanks for the review @mesutoezdil
I have addressed the two inline questions in the latest commit.

Regarding the dependencies and process:

I actually included a design document in this PR itself (docs/develop/tracing-design.md) outlining the architecture, as is standard here.

If maintainers are concerned about bloating the default binary with the OTel SDK for a PoC, I am completely happy to put the OTel setup behind a Go build tag (e.g. //go:build otel). This would mean the standard go build wouldn't even download or compile the OTel SDK unless a user explicitly opts in during compilation.
Let me know if you want me to add the build tag, or if the current approach (runtime --enable-tracing flag) will work or if there is any other better approach

Review focus: motivation and necessity (not implementation)

This review does not go through the instrumentation details. The question is whether HAMi needs in-tree OpenTelemetry for Bind now, given what the project already ships.

Existing profiling already covers a different (and real) job

HAMi already has opt-in pprof (--profiling) and an operator/developer guide:

That path answers: why is the scheduler process hot, leaking, or spending CPU in RegisterFromNodeAnnotations / getNodesUsage. It does not answer “this one /bind was slow; was it node lock, annotation patch, or apiserver Bind?”

So the profiling guide is not a duplicate of per-request Bind phase latency. It also does not justify adding a tracing SDK.

The stated incident gap is overstated, and OTel is the wrong first tool

Scheduler.Bind already logs each step (Attempting to bind, node lookup, lock failure, patch failure, bind failure, success). What is missing is structured duration, not visibility into the steps themselves.

Scheduler Prometheus metrics today are allocation gauges. There is still no filter / score / bind latency histogram. That is exactly gap 4 in #2126, and it was ranked before tracing.

For on-call, “which Bind phase is slow?” is answered more cheaply by:

  • a Prometheus histogram labeled by phase, and/or
  • structured logs with duration_ms per phase

Those land in the stack HAMi already operates (Prometheus / Grafana / logs). This PR instead adds the OpenTelemetry SDK and exports stdout JSON, with no native OTLP. Design doc says collectors must scrape stdout. That is still log-shaped output, with a new dependency and a new API surface.

This also inverts the #2126 / LFX priority

#2126 scoped tracing as a bounded PoC that must not block metrics and dashboards. The mentorship plan was metrics → dashboard → then filter → score → bind tracing. This PR instruments only Bind, pulls OTel into go.mod, and arrives before mentee selection (applications still open; mentorship starts in September).

Default-off --enable-tracing and a no-op provider only show runtime cost is low. They do not show maintenance cost is low: new package, new flag, Bind signature change, and pressure to span every later control-plane path.

The context.Background() Bind cancellation note is also not a reason to land this. The follow-up commit restored detached Bind on purpose; that debate does not belong in a tracing PoC.

Request

Please do not merge the code as the way to close the Bind-latency question.

  • Keep using --profiling + the existing guide for process CPU/memory.
  • If Bind phase latency is the operator gap, start with histograms and/or duration logs — that matches HAMi’s current observability stack and #2126 Phase 1.
  • If tracing still needs a home, split docs/develop/tracing-design.md into a design-only discussion. Land code later, under the mentorship, after mentor sign-off on path and exporter (at least OTLP; stdout is not incident-ready).

review opinions from CodeRabbit and others are vliid and I just say something different:

  1. Failed phase spans record the error, but do not set the span status to Error.
  2. Pretty JSON uses many lines, so log collectors may split one span into many records.
  3. The spans do not include Pod, Node, UID, or scheduler instance information, so it is hard to find the related workload.
  4. When tracing is disabled, the code still replaces the global TracerProvider and may affect other OpenTelemetry code in the future.

OpenTelemetry Go stdout trace exporter JSON output format OpenTelemetry Collector filelog receiver parse JSON traces OTLP

💡 Result:

The OpenTelemetry Go stdout trace exporter produces a non-standardized JSON output format intended solely for debugging and learning purposes [1]. Because its format is unspecified, it is not recommended for production use and may change without notice [1]. The output is a stream of encoded Go structs (specifically SpanSnapshot objects) rather than a standardized interchange format like OTLP [2][3]. Due to custom marshalling implementations, this JSON output is generally not easily unmarshalled back into Go objects [3]. If your goal is to parse traces into the OpenTelemetry Collector, you should avoid the stdout exporter and instead use the OTLP protocol, which is the standardized, production-ready format for OpenTelemetry data [1][4]. Regarding the OpenTelemetry Collector's filelog receiver, it is designed for processing logs, not traces [5][6][7]. While the filelog receiver includes a trace_parser operator, its capability is limited to extracting trace context (TraceID/SpanID) from log entries—it cannot natively parse full, complex OTLP trace payloads from a file [8]. The filelog receiver is primarily used to ingest structured or unstructured log files (e.g., JSON logs) into the OpenTelemetry pipeline [5][9]. For production environments, the recommended approach is: 1. Configure your Go application to use the OTLP exporter to send telemetry directly to the OpenTelemetry Collector via gRPC or HTTP [10][4]. 2. If you must send traces via HTTP/JSON, the OpenTelemetry Collector's OTLP receiver supports the standardized OTLP JSON Protobuf encoding [11][4][12]. This format follows the OTLP specification, which ensures compatibility across the ecosystem [4][12]. 3. For scenarios requiring file-based ingestion, ensure the data source is either pre-formatted as OTLP JSON or use appropriate processors to transform the data into the OTLP format before it reaches your backend [9][11][12].

The tracing implementation lives in `pkg/scheduler/tracing/` and consists of two files:

- **`tracing.go`** — Sets up the `TracerProvider`. When tracing is enabled, it creates a stdout exporter with `AlwaysSample` and registers it as the global provider. The exporter must use a bounded `BatchSpanProcessor` (rather than synchronous `SimpleSpanProcessor`) with explicit export timeouts, queue overflow protection, and a proper `SIGTERM` trap for graceful shutdown, to ensure that tracing never blocks the scheduler control plane or drops traces during pod eviction.

OpenTelemetry Go BatchSpanProcessor bounded queue drops spans when queue is full shutdown timeout official documentation

💡 Result:

In the OpenTelemetry Go SDK, the BatchSpanProcessor is designed by default to prioritize application performance and stability by avoiding backpressure [1]. Consequently, when the internal queue reaches its maximum capacity (defined by MaxQueueSize, which defaults to 2048), the BatchSpanProcessor silently drops new spans [2][3][4]. Key details regarding this behavior and shutdown configuration include: 1. Drop vs. Block Behavior: The default behavior is to drop spans [2][4]. However, you can opt into a blocking behavior by setting the BlockOnQueueFull option to true (or using the WithBlocking option) [2][4]. When enabled, the BatchSpanProcessor will block the calling thread (on OnStart or OnEnd) until the queue has space, or until the provided context is cancelled [2][5][4]. This should be used with caution, as it can significantly impact application performance [2][5]. 2. Shutdown Timeout: The BatchSpanProcessor's Shutdown method is responsible for flushing the remaining spans in the queue and shutting down the associated exporter [5]. It is designed to wait for the queue to be fully processed [5]. While the SDK does not provide a single, configurable "shutdown timeout" parameter for the processor itself in the options struct, the internal implementation typically ensures that the final flush and exporter shutdown occur within a reasonable timeframe (or a fixed grace period) to avoid hanging the application [6]. If the provided context to Shutdown or the internal processes reach their limits, spans that have not been successfully processed may be lost [6]. 3. Observability of Drops: Because drops are silent by default to minimize performance impact, they are not typically logged to prevent log flooding [7]. You can monitor for dropped spans by utilizing the SDK's self-observability metrics, which are part of the OpenTelemetry semantic conventions, if your specific exporter and monitoring backend support them [1]. For further configuration, refer to the BatchSpanProcessorOptions struct in the opentelemetry-go SDK documentation [2][8][5].

Citations:


Remove the lossless-export guarantee. A bounded BatchSpanProcessor can drop spans when its queue is full. Shutdown can lose queued spans when its deadline expires, and SIGTERM cannot guarantee delivery after forced termination.

The tracing is wired at two layers:

1. **HTTP handler layer** (`pkg/scheduler/routes/route.go`) — The `Bind` handler creates the root server span and records HTTP-level attributes and errors (decode failures, marshal failures, status codes).

2. **Scheduler layer** (`pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go`) — The `Scheduler.Bind` method creates child spans for each internal step of the bind process.

Each child span records only the time spent in that specific step. If the node lock is slow due to contention, only the `node_lock` span will show a long duration while the other spans remain fast. This makes it straightforward to identify the bottleneck. Failed phase spans explicitly set their OpenTelemetry span status to `Error` and record the underlying Go error for visibility.

Define scheduler failure from both return values.

Scheduler.Bind returns ExtenderBindingResult.Error with a nil Go error for node lookup, lock, annotation patch, and apiserver failures in pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go:940-1007. The HTTP handler still writes HTTP 200 for these extender errors in pkg/scheduler/routes/route.go:101-145. Define hami.bind.result=error when err != nil or result.Error != "", and set hami.bind.error_kind=scheduler. Do not derive the outcome from HTTP status alone.

Thank you @FouoF, @mesutoezdil, and @spencercjh for taking the time to review this thoroughly.

After reading all the feedback, I fully agree that adding the OTel SDK right now is premature. The real thing to work upon today is Bind phase latency visibility, and that should be solved with Prometheus histograms first.
I am closing this PR. I have already started working on a new one that adds per-phase latency histograms for the Bind workflow using the existing Prometheus setup. we can revisit tracing discussion later once the metrics foundation is solid and mentors agree on the exporter path.

Thanks again for the guidance, this was a great learning experience on when not to reach for a new tool.
