[jira] [Commented] (HTRACE-320) Docs for adding tracing to an application don't mention configuration

["Colin Patrick McCabe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTRACE-320?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15047244#comment-15047244 ] 

Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HTRACE-320:
---------------------------------------------

Configuration is system-specific, which makes this a bit harder than it might seem.  We don't want to give a Hadoop-specific example using an o.a.Hadoop.Configuration object since that might lead to the incorrect perception that HTrace is Hadoop-only.

Maybe we could bundle an HTraceConfiguration implementation that reads Java system properties, to make things easier?  That would be useful for many projects, I think.

> Right now the docs for adding tracing to your application don't mention how to get configuration to your Tracer at all. A concrete example (perhaps with the local file receiver) would help tremendously for folks trying to get started, especially with a note about how providing no configuration results in no tracing.
