Uses of Span in brave

Methods in brave that return Span

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
abstract Span	Span.annotate(long timestamp, String value)	Like SpanCustomizer.annotate(String), except with a given timestamp in microseconds.
abstract Span	Span.annotate(String value)	Associates an event that explains latency with the current system time.
Span	Tracer.currentSpan()	Returns the current span in scope or null if there isn't one.
Span	Tracer.joinSpan(TraceContext context)	Joining is re-using the same trace and span ids extracted from an incoming RPC request.
abstract Span	Span.kind(Span.Kind kind)	The kind of span is optional.
abstract Span	Span.name(String name)	Sets the string name for the logical operation this span represents.
Span	Tracer.newChild(TraceContext parent)	Explicitly creates a child within an existing.
Span	Tracer.newTrace()	Explicitly creates a new trace.
Span	Tracer.newTrace(SamplingFlags samplingFlags)	Like Tracer.newTrace(), but supports parameterized sampling, for example limiting on operation or url pattern.
Span	Tracer.nextSpan()	Returns a new child span if there's a Tracer.currentSpan() or a new trace if there isn't.
Span	Tracer.nextSpan(TraceContextOrSamplingFlags extracted)	This creates a new span based on parameters extracted from an incoming request.
Span	Span.remoteEndpoint(zipkin.Endpoint endpoint)	Deprecated. use remoteEndpoint(Endpoint), possibly with Endpoint.toV2()
abstract Span	Span.remoteEndpoint(zipkin2.Endpoint endpoint)	For a client span, this would be the server's address.
abstract Span	Span.start()	Starts the span with an implicit timestamp.
abstract Span	Span.start(long timestamp)	Like start(), except with a given timestamp in microseconds.
abstract Span	Span.tag(String key, String value)	Tags give your span context for search, viewing and analysis.
Span	Tracer.toSpan(TraceContext context)	Converts the context as-is to a Span object

Methods in brave with parameters of type Span

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Tracer.SpanInScope	Tracer.withSpanInScope(Span span)	Makes the given span the "current span" and returns an object that exits that scope on close.

Uses of Span in brave.propagation

Methods in brave.propagation that return Span

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Span	ThreadLocalSpan.next()	Returns the Tracer.nextSpan() or null if ThreadLocalSpan.CURRENT_TRACER and tracing isn't available.
Span	ThreadLocalSpan.remove()	Returns the span set in scope via ThreadLocalSpan.next() or null if there was none.
