Trace imports are invisible

[Kixiron]

No events are emitted that can be used to piece together where an imported trace came from, TraceAgents manage their data internally and .import() uses the source operator to create an entirely new source, so there's no ChannelsEvent linking the two streams nor any sort of differential event that links them.

Just to make sure that I understand the issue, trace imports are reported (the TraceShare logging event), but not enough breadcrumbs are reported to let you link up the the imported arrangement with the location it was imported to?

[Kixiron]

Yep, precisely. TraceShare just says that an arrangement came from somewhere, but not where it actually comes from

[frankmcsherry]

I think it might be the other way around. TraceAgent records the operator id it was constructed with, and on each importing event increments that. So, each import does announce where it came from, but only where it came from (not, e.g. where it was imported to). Maybe that is what you meant though.

[Kixiron]

Yes, that's my bad
