Creating a new trace

[arturenault]

Hi folks,

I have an event-emitter based service, and I would like to create a brand new trace for each event that gets triggered.

The service looks something like this:

client
  .on(
    Events.Event1,
    tracer.wrap(Events.Event1, (data) => handleEvent1(data))
  )
  .on(
    Events.Event2,
    tracer.wrap(Events.Event2, (data) => handleEvent2(data))
  )

Every time a new event gets triggered, it creates a new span. However, all the spans in this service end up being part of the same trace, so I end up with a giant trace that contains every event ever fired in this service.

Is there a way to force creation of a brand new trace ID when starting a span?
