Till Rohrmann commented on FLINK-26617: --------------------------------------- If this is a requirement, then I guess we need to send the span context to the remote functions. I think this should be doable as this is not a lot of information. At the moment I am not 100% sure what things need to change in order to fully support tracing in SF. To explore this and the requirements, I'd be fine if you explored it using the example of Kafka records with spans attached. Based on that we could think about how to generalize the mechanism so that it also works with other ingresses/egresses. > Pass Kafka headers to remote functions and egresses > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-26617 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-26617 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Stateful Functions > Reporter: Fil Karnicki > Priority: Minor > > Typically OpenTelemetry (FLINK-22390) tracing spans get passed in kafka > headers.
