What this PR does:
Makes everything better. Like literally it makes everything better. While experimenting with service graph generation in the agent we noticed that certain batching patterns exerted significantly more or less load on Tempo. We traced that down to this code:
tempo/modules/distributor/receiver/shim.go
Line 181 in af34e13
This line is amplifying all writes that come in based on the number of batches in the incoming push. By combining these more intelligently we can get massive performance improvements. This translates to a 40% reduction in CPU usage in our largest cluster (currently consuming 2M spans/second):
