    Description

      Camel-Zipkin does not report traces with root span id when there are multiple routes. 

      For example: 

       

      from("direct:foo")
              .delay(1000)
              .to("direct:bar")
              .to("direct:moo")
              .to("direct:tar");
      
      from("direct:bar")
              .delay(2000);
      
      from("direct:moo")
              .delay(1000);
      
      from("direct:tar")
              .delay(3000);
      

      Root SpanId(TraceId) should be for service-name = direct:foo and the trace in UI should show all the 4 routes in one sequence. But it breaks. Check the attached screenshot: Traces Breaking.png

      I looked into the code and figured out why its happening. Here is the code which is breaking the functionality.

      Class Name: ZipkinTracer.ZipkinRoutePolicy
      Inside onExchangeBegin() method 

       

      // add on completion after the route is done, but before the consumer writes the response
      // this allows us to track the zipkin event before returning the response which is the right time
      exchange.addOnCompletion(new SynchronizationAdapter() {
          @Override
          public void onAfterRoute(Route route, Exchange exchange) {
              String serviceName = getServiceName(exchange, route.getEndpoint(), true, false);
              Brave brave = getBrave(serviceName);
              if (brave != null) {
                  serverResponse(brave, serviceName, exchange);
              }
          }
      
          @Override
          public String toString() {
              return "ZipkinTracerOnCompletion[" + routeId + "]";
          }
      });
      

       

       

      Using onAfterRoute() :  if the exchange is being routed through multiple routes, there will be callbacks for each route.

      I have fix for it: 
      If I use onExchangeDone() instead of above code. The traces are reported properly.  Check screenshots.

      https://zipkin.io/pages/instrumenting.html

      Note This process must be repeated if the service makes multiple downstream calls. That is each subsequent span will have the same trace id and parent id, but a new and different span id.
