Detailed Description
A link from one span to another, forming hypergraph edges.
Links are used to associate spans that are causally related but not in a direct parent-child relationship. This is essential for representing complex relationships such as:
- A batch operation triggered by multiple requests
- Fan-out/fan-in patterns
- Cross-trace correlations (e.g., grid engine work linked to client request)
Links enable the construction of a hypergraph where spans can have multiple non-hierarchical relationships.
