------------------------------------------
We'd really like to improve Camel-Zipkin support, so this effort is much more
than welcome!
> Renovate Zipkin (brave) support
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: CAMEL-12672
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-12672
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: camel-zipkin
> Reporter: Adrian Cole
> Priority: Major
>
> With some hard effort, we've managed to maintain the original form of the
> camel-zipkin integration. However, this integration's design is considerably
> out of date, especially considering the work done in camel-opentracing.
> camel-zipkin should be completely rewritten in order to improve experience
> (and stop volunteers from having support questions in zipkin channel).
>
> I've been told folks don't know what to do, yet I think it is somewhat
> simple. The work that was done in camel-opentracing.. do that in
> camel-zipkin. Beyond that is polishing.
> For example, the brave v4+ api is similar enough to opentracing to mostly
> find/replace. This is a good start and can fix some considerable modeling
> bugs in camel-zipkin around messaging. Once that is complete, we can move to
> being more idiomatic and taking advantage of brave's features.
> For example, `brave.Tracing` is injected by many things in spring. People use
> it to configure advanced propagation things not possible in the normal api.
> Similarly, `brave.http.HttpTracing` sets and verifies http-scoped
> configuration so that when downstream systems are sensitive, data is
> collected in ways not proprietary to camel. One such example is X-Ray.
> Another example is that usually the data in opentracing is a lot bigger and
> so more expensive for sites. Using tools like this helps keep costs down.
> While the above steps are "going beyond" again, a relatively straight-forward
> port of camel-opentracing would be a great way to re-enable the very large
> OpenZipkin community and leverage the work you've done.
