What is it?

It is an Akka distributed tracing extension which can be used as performance diagnostics and debugging tool. Distributed nature of Twitter's Zipkin (which it is based on) provides synergy with akka-remote and akka-cluster. Extension integrates with Finagle services and Spray toolkit. Sampled traces can contain not only timing info, but custom annotations and key-value pairs, which, in turn, can be used as filtering parameters in Zipkin's Web UI.
