Abstract

Distributed tracing is the practice of tracking a user's request through a microservice application from entrance to exit. The data emitted by this practice is so large that it is often difficult to store and analyze. We propose a new system to store tracing data on top of low-cost cloud object storage, a service provided by major cloud providers. We describe indexing structures that achieve fast query times and considerable query expressiveness by adapting the design of indices to both cloud storage and the unique distributed tracing domain.
