Description

It's very hard to know where a distributed-process application spends it's time. With something like OpenTracing or OpenTelemetry we have good tooling at our hands to analyse such traces.

We don't have to hard-code it down to OT or OTeL but supporting the concept of Traces, Spans and Links that would let a user plugin exporters might be a good way to integrate.

Research direction

Start by surveying the distributed-process codebase for existing instrumentation or extension points; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Clarify the intended Traces, Spans, and Links model and exporter plugin boundary, then define tests and documentation that demonstrate distributed trace support.
