When Ruby processes fork, they copy objects from the parent process into the child process: this includes the trace context objects we've assigned to each
Thread
. As a result, child processes are copying all the spans from the parent process, which could result in redundant transmission of spans.Instead, we'd like forked processes to act like distributed traces; they should be linked to the parent process (trace ID/parent ID/sampling, etc) but only build and transmit spans generated from its own process.
To do this, we're leveraging the forking helpers implemented in #1221 to make the
Datadog::Context
fork aware, then lazily clone theDatadog::Context
in theDatadog::DefaultContextProvider
whenever a context is accessed and observed to have forked.
