Support for async spans?

[padlar]

One way async span is supported in brave - openzipkin/zipkin#1243

Are there plans to support this any time soon?

Thanks for asking, Sunil. We are likely to pull out zipkin-go which could include the "flush" operator on span present in Brave (which makes this work). It is possible some custom hooks could be done in the mean time to accomplish the same. On zipkin-go: there's currently no tracking issue for this, but it is dependent on the "simplejson" effort: The simplified data structure has been piloted in Brave 4+ as the primary span api, and that's been successful. When we extract zipkin-go, we'd not only want the same approach, but also a direct mapping to the model to make mapping less indirect: openzipkin/zipkin#1644

PS the async as described in brave is SPSC or really one-way RPC. Multiple consumers are being elaborated here openzipkin/zipkin#1654

Closing this due to age and this repo only working with Zipkin v1 API.

The native Zipkin Go lib will need to support async spans and by that I mean it will not only need to make it possible but also test that it is guaranteed to work given a documented procedure.
