Ability to set duration on RecordDatastoreSegment #3258
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The transaction.RecordDatastoreSegment assumes that you can easily wrap the database operation being performed.
We're consuming an existing .net library that uses System.Diagnostic.ActivitySource which only has hooks for activity started and activity ended. The data access uses a factory method so wrapping the whole thing would include more than the raw data store timings.
Feature Description
The ability to record a custom datastore segment with a specified duration. We can use the System.Diagnostic.Activity duration property to pass in giving us insights into how long these un-instrumented calls are taking.
Describe Alternatives
We've attempted to use a scoped service and call RecordDatastoreSegment in the ActivityStarted action and later call dispose in the ActivityStopped action but these aren't a true representation of the duration for performing the data access.
