These changes add support for injecting client tracing spans into HTTP
requests to the Pulumi API. The server can then rematerialize these span
references and attach its own spans for distributed tracing.
These changes enable tracing of Pulumi API calls.
The span with which to associate an API call is passed via a
`context.Context` parameter. This required plumbing a
`context.Context` parameter through a rather large number of APIs,
especially in the backend.
In general, all API calls are associated with a new root span that
exists for essentially the entire lifetime of an invocation of the
Pulumi CLI. There were a few places where the plumbing got a bit hairier
than I was willing to address with these changes; I've used
`context.Background()` in these instances. API calls that receive this
context will create new root spans, but will still be traced.
Adds OpenTracing in the Pulumi engine and plugin + langhost subprocesses.
We currently create a single root span for any `Enging.plan` operation - which is a single `preview`, `update`, `destroy`, etc.
The only sub-spans we currently create are at gRPC boundaries, both on the client and server sides and on both the langhost and provider plugin interfaces.
We could extend this to include spans for any other semantically meaningful sections of compute inside the engine, though initial examples show we get pretty good granularity of coverage by focusing on the gRPC boundaries.
In the future, this should be easily extensible to HTTP boundaries and to track other bulky I/O like datastore read/writes once we hook up to the PPC and Pulumi Cloud.
We expose a `--trace <endpoint>` option to enable tracing on the CLI, which we will aim to thread through to subprocesses.
We currently support sending tracing data to a Zipkin-compatible endpoint. This has been validated with both Zipkin and Jaeger UIs.
We do not yet have any tracing inside the TypeScript side of the JS langhost RPC interface. There is not yet automatic gRPC OpenTracing instrumentation (though it looks like it's in progress now) - so we would need to manually create meaningful spans on that side of the interface.
