Previously, the tracing spans were loosely organized with
Span::follows_from
vs. a parent/child relationship, making browsing telemetry without pre-processing it impractical.Now the spans are organized with a hierarchy that starts at a root invocation or a practical stand-in, like an HTTP request. Pre-invocation initiators can also pre-generate a transaction ID so their child spans stay better grouped. That means things like HTTP requests can report a transaction ID that can be used to query and filter all child invocations.
