brave-zipkin-spancollector

Brave SpanCollector that converts Brave spans into Zipkin spans and submits them to a Zipkin collector. Advantage is that you can reuse the Zipkin back-end (zipkin collector, Cassandra back-end store and zipkin web UI).

For information on how to set up the Zipkin backend components see here.

No release available :-(

There is no release for brave-zipkin-spancollector available because it depends on third-party Maven repos (specified in the pom.xml and see below). Because of this I could not release it to Maven Central.

It is advised to add the required thirdy part Maven repos:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>scala-tools.org</id>
        <name>Scala-tools Maven2 Repository</name>
        <url>http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases</url>
        <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>                        
    </repository>
    <repository>
        <id>twitter</id>
        <url>http://maven.twttr.com/</url>
        <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
    </repository>
    <repository>
        <id>mvnrepository</id>
        <url>http://mvnrepository.com/</url>
        <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
    </repository>
</repositories>

to your own proxy (Nexus, Artifactory) instead of leaving them in the pom.xml

Deploy SNAPSHOT

git clone https://github.com/kristofa/brave-zipkin-spancollector.git
cd brave-zipkin-spancollector
mvn deploy

This should work if your Maven ~/.m2/settings.xml configuration allows specifying third party Maven repos besides those in settings.xml or if you have added the Maven repos to your own proxy.

Make a release

If you would want to use this span collector as part of a release you will have to add release-plugin entry in pom.xml + specify scm and distributionManagement sections and do a release into your own Maven repo.
