Identifier

case class Identifier(string: String, bytes: Array[Byte])

Encapsulates an identifier in its String and Byte representations. Since it is a very common practice to include Trace and (sometimes) Span identifiers on logs we make heavy use of the String representation since Identifiers are assigned even if the Trace is not sampled. The binary representation might be used by some reporters or when transferring the identifiers through binary transports.

Users of this class must ensure that the String and Binary representations are equivalent. Most likely you will never want to create an instance by yourself but rather use one of the existent providers (or your own) to create instances.

Value members

Concrete methods

Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:

It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type Any if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

Value parameters:

that: the object to compare against this object for equality.

Returns:

true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.
