Hi, 

One quick question: With USER  tracing like LTTng we have something like turn ON & OFF tracing, why don't we have that in distributed tracing, doesn't it create any overhead? I am curious to know the advantage & need of 0 sampling rate?

Thanks,
Teja

You can use noop tracer that comes with every OpenTracing API.

One caveat - noop tracer will not do baggage propagation.

Most distributed tracing systems expect to be deployed continuously in production... As such, they typically don't have an "off" button, and instead employ some form of sampling on a per-transaction basis. 

Hope this helps,
