…e next child span to not be created (i.e. returns null span)
Signed-off-by: Gary Brown [email protected]
Description:
Found an issue in Istio where if a service forwards an empty parent span id header, it results in the subsequent envoy proxy not creating a span for the outbound request, simply propagating the B3 headers to the next proxy handling the inbound request, which similarly has a problem creating a child span due to the same empty parent span id, etc.
See istio/istio#11696 for more information.
Risk Level: Low
Testing: Unit test to confirm span created even with empty parent span id.
Docs Changes: no
Release Notes: no
