Allow samplers to modify tracestate #988

lmolkova · 2020-09-22T17:38:52Z

Fixes #856

Changes

Added Tracestate to SamplingResult

iNikem · 2020-09-22T17:45:06Z

This seems to me to contradict this:

Please note, since SpanContext is immutable, it is not possible to update SpanContext with a new TraceState. Such changes then make sense only right before SpanContext propagation or telemetry data exporting. In both cases, Propagators and SpanExporters may create a modified TraceState copy before serializing it to the wire.

By W3C Trace Context specification, Tracestate is immutable. So is SpanContext. How can samplers change immutable object inside another immutable object?

@iNikem

By W3C Trace Context specification, Tracestate is immutable. So is SpanContext. How can samplers change immutable object inside another immutable object?

Tracestate can be mutated.

This change enables following scenario

propagator parses trace-context (with tracestate)
sampler is invoked
- it can read a parent tracestate (possible today)
- make a copy and modify it
- add it to sampling result (not possible today)
open-telemetry sdk creates a new SpanContext with a tracestate from sampling result (not from parent context)

Let me know if this helps.

iNikem · 2020-09-22T19:00:40Z

Workflow does make sense, thank you. I still worry about implementation.

Does this mean that a new instance of SpanContext has to always be created after receiving sampling decision? Or SDK has to detect changes in TraceState?

Oberon00 · 2020-09-22T19:29:58Z

@iNikem Because of the new SpaId, a new SpanContext has to be created anyway. I expect implementation here to be trivial, replacing parent.tracestate with decision.tracestate

specification/trace/sdk.md

Oberon00

I think the new spec is quite confusing and unclear on what the sampler needs to do to use the parent tracestate without modification vs when the tracestate will be cleared. See my comment #988 (comment)

lmolkova · 2020-09-24T16:29:00Z

@Oberon00 I changed the wording as you suggested, thank you. Please have a look.

Oberon00 · 2020-09-24T16:32:18Z

Thank you for addressing my comments! I approved your PR, it looks great now!

Suggested change

so samplers should normally return the passed-in `Tracestate` if they do not intend

so samplers SHOULD return the `Tracestate` passed to them, if they do not intend

In a Note, we should not have upper-case requirements. If you want reword it, also drop the "Note:", and probably make it a MUST

from the issue triage meeting today with TC, this looks desirable, just needs changelog update which can be a followup @carlosalberto

tigrannajaryan · 2020-09-25T15:18:14Z

Merging as agreed during triage session since it has sufficient approvals.

- Fix CHANGELOG entry. - Use SHOULD for the tracestate change. - Add it to the compliance matrix.
