# brave-cassandra

Brave for Apache Cassandra allows you to trace activities started from the Datastax Java Driver all the way into Cassandra.

This repository includes tracing wrappers for [DataStax Java Driver](https://github.com/datastax/java-driver) and an [Apache Cassandra tracing implementation](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/tracing/Tracing.java)

`brave.cassandra.Tracing` extracts trace state from the custom payload

of incoming requests. How long each request takes, each sub-operation,

and relevant tags like the session ID report to Zipkin.

    

`brave.cassandra.driver.TracingSession` tracks the client-side of cassandra and

adds trace context to the custom payload of outgoing requests. If

server integration is in place, Cassandra will contribute data to these

RPC spans.
