Cognitive and SelfAdaptive System for Distributed Tracing

links:none on file
slides:none on file

Built an adaptive sampling layer over Jaeger and Zipkin that shifts from 1–5% random head sampling to tail-based sampling using semi-supervised density clustering, ingesting spans via Kafka ingestion and a span aggregator. Feature vectors include operation, path, service, host, status code and duration; clusters get inverse weights so rare high-interest traces are retained. The prototype is implemented and reportedly cuts storage needs, lowers tracing costs and significantly improves MTTR for SRE teams.
