    - #### receiveRequest

          default <R> I receiveRequest​(Context context,
                                       SpanKind kind,

                                       Iterable<Map.Entry<String,​String>> headers,
                                       TagExtractor<R> tagExtractor)

      Signal a request has been received and will be processed.
      Parameters:
        `context` - the context data attached to the request
        `kind` - the span kind
        `policy` - the policy to apply
        `request` - the request object
        `operation` - the request operation
        `headers` - a read-only view of the request headers
        `tagExtractor` - the request tag extractor
      Returns:
        the request trace

    - #### sendResponse

          default <R> void sendResponse​(Context context,
                                        R response,
                                        I payload,
                                        Throwable failure,
                                        TagExtractor<R> tagExtractor)

      Signal the response is sent.
      Parameters:
        `context` - the context data attached to the request
        `response` - the response sent
        `payload` - the payload returned by `receiveRequest(io.vertx.core.Context, io.vertx.core.spi.tracing.SpanKind, io.vertx.core.tracing.TracingPolicy, R, java.lang.String, java.lang.Iterable<java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>>, io.vertx.core.spi.tracing.TagExtractor<R>)`
        `failure` - the failure when not `null`
        `tagExtractor` - the response tag extractor

    - #### sendRequest

          default <R> O sendRequest​(Context context,
                                    SpanKind kind,
                                    TracingPolicy policy,
                                    R request,
                                    String operation,
                                    BiConsumer<String,​String> headers,
                                    TagExtractor<R> tagExtractor)

      Signal a request is sent.

      When the method returns `null`, no propagation happens and the client shall not call `receiveResponse(io.vertx.core.Context, R, O, java.lang.Throwable, io.vertx.core.spi.tracing.TagExtractor<R>)`.

      Parameters:
        `context` - the context data attached to the request
        `kind` - the span kind
        `policy` - the policy to apply
        `request` - the request object
        `operation` - the request operation
        `headers` - a write only-view of the request headers
        `tagExtractor` - the request tag extractor
      Returns:
        the request trace

    - #### receiveResponse

          default <R> void receiveResponse​(Context context,
                                           R response,
                                           O payload,
                                           Throwable failure,
                                           TagExtractor<R> tagExtractor)

      Signal a response has been received.
      Parameters:
        `context` - the context data attached to the request
        `response` - the response sent
        `payload` - the payload returned by `sendRequest(io.vertx.core.Context, io.vertx.core.spi.tracing.SpanKind, io.vertx.core.tracing.TracingPolicy, R, java.lang.String, java.util.function.BiConsumer<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>, io.vertx.core.spi.tracing.TagExtractor<R>)`
        `failure` - the failure when not `null`
        `tagExtractor` - the response tag extractor

    - #### close

          default void close()

      Close the tracer.
