defmodule OpenTelemetry.Span do
@moduledoc """
This module contains macros for Span operations that update the active current Span in the current process.
An example of creating an Event and adding it to the current Span:
require OpenTelemetry.Span
...
event = "ecto.query"
ecto_attributes = OpenTelemetry.event([{"query", query}, {"total_time", total_time}])
OpenTelemetry.Span.add_event(event, ecto_attributes)
...
A Span represents a single operation within a trace. Spans can be nested to form a trace tree.
Each trace contains a root span, which typically describes the end-to-end latency and, optionally,
one or more sub-spans for its sub-operations.
Spans encapsulate:
- The span name
- An immutable SpanContext (`t:OpenTelemetry.span_ctx/0`) that uniquely identifies the Span
- A parent Span in the form of a Span (`t:OpenTelemetry.span/0`), SpanContext (`t:OpenTelemetry.span_ctx/0`), or `undefined`
- A start timestamp
- An end timestamp
- An ordered mapping of Attributes (`t:OpenTelemetry.attributes/0`)
- A list of Links to other Spans (`t:OpenTelemetry.link/0`)
- A list of timestamped Events (`t:OpenTelemetry.event/0`)
- A Status (`t:OpenTelemetry.status/0`)

Updates the Span name.
It is highly discouraged to update the name of a Span after its creation. Span name is
often used to group, filter and identify the logical groups of spans. And often, filtering
logic will be implemented before the Span creation for performance reasons. Thus the name
update may interfere with this logic.
The function name is called UpdateName to differentiate this function from the regular
property setter. It emphasizes that this operation signifies a major change for a Span
and may lead to re-calculation of sampling or filtering decisions made previously
depending on the implementation.
