Masatake Iwasaki commented on HTRACE-214:
-----------------------------------------
So {{TracerPool#loadReceiverType}} (via TracerBuilder) is high-level API
keeping single receiver instance per type and users can override the guard by
using {{TracerPool#addReceiver}} if it is really necessary. We could add usage
and Javadoc about this too in follow-up documentation work.
bq. I'm nearly done porting Hadoop to the new API, will post a github branch
when I complete it...
Thanks! I'm not sure about how should I pass around already created Tracer
instance in tracee process. It will show me examples.

> De-globalize Tracer.java.
> Currently, Tracer is a Singleton managed by TracerHolder. Instead, Tracer
> objects should be created by each process or library that needs to use
> HTrace. This enables a few things:
> * When the Tracer object is created, we can give it a name. Then we can use
> this name in the "process id" of all spans created by that tracer, rather
> than trying to scrape the JVM name using "questionable" methods.
> * SpanReceivers can be shared between multiple Tracer objects in the same
> process. The span receivers are reference counted. This should eliminate
> the "double tracing" issues we have had when tracing client libraries inside
> processes which also want tracing.
> * Tracers can be closed by calling Tracer#close. If the Tracer being closed
> is the last tracer in the process, it will close all the span receivers.
> * We will have a TracerFactory that takes care of the details of creating the
> right span receivers based on the configuration. This removes some
> boilerplate that is currently needed to enable HTrace in an application or
> library. We can also make SpanReceiverFactory package-private since it will
> no longer need to be publicly visible.
