Jason Gerlowski commented on SOLR-8274:
---------------------------------------

I looked a bit at the OpenTracing docs in the ref-guide, but I'll admit I don't 
fully understand OpenTracing.  The sense I got from reading them was that 
OpenTracing:

# Required some metric backend to receive tracing info (Datadog, etc.)
# Was geared towards understanding aggregate performance data, rather than 
having it reliably be present on any given request. (the docs mention only 
sampling a small percentage of requests by default to avoid affecting 
performance.)

I'm not sure those takeaways are correct - I'd appreciate being corrected if 
they're not.  But if I've got that right, then it seems like using MDC as this 
ticket suggests or using the different approach in SOLR-14566 could be valuable 
supplements to what OpenTracing provides.  OpenTracing and logging-improvements 
would both be valuable in tandem, and don't duplicate functionality.

But like I said, I might be wrong there.

> *Problem 1* Currently, there's no way (AFAIK) to find all log messages 
> associated with a particular request.
> *Problem 2* There's also no easy way for multi-tenant Solr setups to find all 
> log messages associated with a particular customer/tenant.
> Both of these problems would be more manageable if Solr could be configured 
> to record an MDC tag based on a header, or some other user provided value.
> This would allow admins to group together logs about a single request.  If 
> the same header value is repeated multiple times this functionality could 
> also be used to group together arbitrary requests, such as those that come 
> from a particular user, etc.
