summary
Panelists summarize tracing research, name X-Trace, Spectroscope and Dapper, and argue lack of real-world datasets blocks progress; they propose opentraces.org as a repository of anonymized traces but note Netflix de-anonymization risks and legal hurdles. Publication struggles include Dapper rejected for scientific merit despite Google-scale results. Practical paths: industry-hosted internships, in‑house experiments, and non-disruptive runtime instrumentation; a container-level recorder shows about 5% overhead in one prototype.
