Yes, tracing is built on HTrace so as long as the Hadoop, HBase, and
Phoenix builds include the same 'generation' of htrace, spans are available
at all of those layers.

​I guess the question (and implication) is we have zero confidence that
HTrace will ever be any good. That correct? HTrace is dead? If the answer
is yes, then I don't have an objection. If the answer is no, or maybe, then
I object to removing tracing support without a replacement of equal
viability.​
