Span Contexts Overlapping

[artembeep]

Hi. I'm quite new to a telemetry concepts. As I understand we can organize a hierarchical span context tree along some process.
And so Is there any way to join the spans in correlated sub spans?

In my case there's a set of input signals. Each has a personal computational pipeline. So that it looks like logically it is one span tree per each pipeline.

But at some point the pipelines are joined for batch processing. So what is the common practice would be suitable here?

• Should I just for pipeline of pipelines {pipeline.child('batching', {attributes: {batchId}])}
• Or is there any Span Grouping/Overlapping/Mixing/Composing native concept

Thx.
