parentImprove opentracing for incoming HTTP requests (#11618) (diff)
downloadsynapse-c3e38b88f221971fdafbca1283cc628bd439efd3.tar.xz
Improve opentracing support for `ResponseCache` (#11607)
This adds some opentracing annotations to ResponseCache, to make it easier to see what's going on; in particular, it adds a link back to the initial trace which is actually doing the work of generating the response.
