How to combine multiple traces that get batched together? #2654

I have a system that can batch together multiple streams of work. How do I combine each of the N parent traces as the parent of the batch span? |

The best way to handle this is probably to use span links. In that case the batch span is its own root (or whatever triggers the batch to run may be a root) and it adds all the spans which added an item to the batch as a link. It depends on your tracing backend though since they don't all support links. |

Ah nice! Looks like Honeycomb does support this https://docs.honeycomb.io/getting-data-in/tracing/send-trace-data/#links |
