--------------------------------------

             Summary: add a zipkin plugin for distributed tracing of message based applications
                 Key: ARTEMIS-461
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-461
             Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: james strachan


zipkin is an awesome distributed tracing system:
http://zipkin.io/

its already integrated into various things like jaxrs and http:
https://github.com/openzipkin/brave/tree/master/brave-jaxrs2
https://github.com/openzipkin/brave/tree/master/brave-http

along with camel:
https://github.com/apache/camel/tree/master/components/camel-zipkin

it'd be nice of we could trace requests which are made across ActiveMQ Artemis too so we could generate nice trace diagrams like this:

mostly this means having the ability to replicate Zipkin headers from an inbound message to outbound messages for the same Session so that the zipkin breadcrumbs can flow across messaging along with http / jaxrs / camel etc.
