Deprecated.

Replaced by brave.Span

@Deprecated
public abstract class LocalTracer
extends AnnotationSubmitter

Local tracer is designed for in-process activity that explains latency.

For example, a local span could represent bootstrap, codec, file i/o or other activity that notably impacts performance.

Local spans always have a binary annotation "lc" which indicates the component name. Usings zipkin's UI or Api, you can query by for spans that use a component like this: lc=spring-boot.

Here's an example of allocating precise duration for a local span:

 tracer.startNewSpan("codec", "encode");
 try {
   return codec.encode(input);
 } finally {
   tracer.finishSpan();
 }

startNewSpan

public SpanId startNewSpan(java.lang.String component,
                           java.lang.String operation)

Deprecated.

Request a new local span, which starts now.

Parameters:

component - component responsible for the operation

operation - name of the operation that's begun

Returns:

metadata about the new span or null if one wasn't started due to sampling policy.

Deprecated.

Request a new local span, which started at the given timestamp.

Parameters:

component - component responsible for the operation

operation - name of the operation that's begun

timestamp - time the operation started, in epoch microseconds.

Returns:

metadata about the new span or null if one wasn't started due to sampling policy.
