I don't think setting the global trace id is a good idea. Basically, and mostly in SkyWalking, we do auto-instrumentation, right? The app developer is mostly impossible to set trace id before the first span created, also, it means, you can't guarantee, there is no `injection` happened before your codes. In that case, the trace will break, the developer will be hard to understand what happened. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
