Humio as storage backend

[em135]

Humio is great at storing and querying large amount of data, but lacks visualization for the data. We therefore want to add visualization capabilities to Humio using Jaeger. @Xitric and I are working on a storage backend for Humio using the grpc plugin. Our project can be seen at https://github.com/em135/humio-jaeger-plugin.

We have implemented the spanstore.Reader and dependencystore.Reader interfaces. We are currently able to visualize traces by querying Humio. However, the visualization of dependency graphs are insufficient in a large-scale production system.

The storage should not be incorporated in the core. We have made a MVP Humio storage plugin to visualize our data. This issue and our work should serve as a discussion board for a Humio storage plugin (similar to the other open storage plugin issues).
