Description

In order to get an overview of the lifetime of a message going through different messaging components, it would be good to have support for distributed tracing in Artemis.

The OpenTracing standard defines an API for this, facilitating the use of different (OpenTracing-compatible) tracing systems (e.g. Jaeger).

This would mean more general distributed tracing support than the one proposed in ARTEMIS-461.

To start out with, support could be added to the AMQP protocol, using AMQP delivery annotations to get the OpenTracing SpanContext from incoming messages and to put the SpanContext into outgoing messages.
