Thank you Christopher,
We can confirm that trace on and trace off are working fine in accumulo
shell. We can see those trace messages in the trace table and tracer
service is running.
However, we are not seeing trace messages for MajC / MinC
We do see these warnings in Monitor
"Tracing spans are being dropped because there are already 5000 spans
queued for delivery. This does not affect performance, security or data
integrity, but distributed tracing information is being lost."
Any suggestions ?
Cheers!...
...Keith
