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 `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.
`abstract Span`	Span.`error(Throwable throwable)`	Records an error that impacted this operation.
`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)`	When present, the span is remote.
`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 trace.
`Span`	Tracer.`newTrace()`	Explicitly creates a new trace.
`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.
`<T> Span`	Tracer.`nextSpan(SamplerFunction<T> samplerFunction, T arg)`	Like `Tracer.nextSpan()` except when there is no trace in process, the sampler `triggers` against the supplied argument.
`<T> Span`	Tracer.`nextSpanWithParent(SamplerFunction<T> samplerFunction, T arg, TraceContext parent)`	Like `Tracer.nextSpan(SamplerFunction, Object)` except this controls the parent context explicitly.
`Span`	Span.`remoteEndpoint(zipkin2.Endpoint endpoint)`	Deprecated. Since 5.0, use `remoteServiceName(String)` `remoteIpAndPort(String, int)`.
`abstract Span`	Span.`remoteServiceName(String remoteServiceName)`	Lower-case label of the remote node in the service graph, such as "favstar".
`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 to a Span object after decorating it for propagation.

Methods in brave with parameters of type Span
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	Tag.`tag(I input, Span span)`	Tags the value parsed from the `input`.
`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.`next(TraceContextOrSamplingFlags extracted)`	Returns the `Tracer.nextSpan(TraceContextOrSamplingFlags)` 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.
