Hi all, I wanted to post a bit about some HTrace activity that's been going on lately. Some of this stuff is not as visible, because it's going on in other git repos, rather than in HTrace itself. But it's actually just as important, or even more important, than changes to the HTrace git repo itself.
In HBASE-18601, Tamas Penzes is working on updating the version of HTrace that HBase uses to HTrace 4.x. This is very important for getting HBase and HDFS on the same version (version 4) and for letting us tell end-to-end tracing stories. The JIRA has been around for a while, but the patch has been worked on a lot recently, and hopefully we'll be able to get it in soon. In Hadoop, we've been talking a bit about how to better integrate tracing into the s3 connectors. This work hasn't really started, but I think it will happen and be very worthwhile. best, Colin
