without this change when an executor implementation was a final class or had a final method - the application wouldn't start or would produce NPE at startup.
with this change we have a custom bean post processor that wraps an aspect manualy either via a JDK Proxy when a class is final or a method is final or creates a CGLIB proxy if that's possible.
fixes#550
Also allows us to actually create a PercentageBasedSampler (I
don't think anyone tried it before) without resorting to
lazy beans and proxies.
Another freature added here is a default percentage sampler
if we know that spans need to be exported (zipkin or stream
is present).
Fixes gh-138
- Changed Random instantiation to a shared Random
- Changed the name of the converter
- Changed generator into random
- Span id is now non-nullable.
- it gets generated in the http filter if it's not there
- it's generated in the spring-integration channels if it wasn't set
Brave's span collector, which turned out to not be a great tool for
direct use. Brave internally creates spans before sending to its
collector, so validation is implicit. The flip side of this is using the
collector directly does not validate spans. This means it is easy to
send invalid ones, for example missing span names. The problem is more
difficult as the data is in binary (thrift).
This introduces HttpZipkinSpanReporter, which validates via zipkin-java
classes before sending on the wire. Moreover, this sends in json to make
debugging problems easier.
This does not fully remove the Brave dependency, as further work is
needed. Particularly, Brave is indirectly referenced in other code.
See https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin-java/issues/68
See #98 (Reporter is an OpenTracing term)
Recent versions of zipkin and brave operate with http instead of scribe.
This changes the implementation accordingly, as well adds a sampler to
the POST endpoint.
A notable impact is that we no longer require a collector process, as
the zipkin server's POST endpoint is a collector.
Instrumentation should be able to get by with only 2
interfaces: TraceManager and TraceAccessor (the former is
not needed if you aren't starting a new Span). No explicit
access to thread locals or manipulation of thread context
is required (except locally where necessary).
A Span is enclosed by a Trace (actually a view of the complete
Trace that would be constructed remotely).
