Setting up tracing is quite simple, however it currently requires some very minor changes to your client code (it would not be very difficult to remove this requirement).
[[tracing.spanreceivers]]
=== SpanReceivers
The tracing system works by collecting information in structs called 'Spans'. It is up to you to choose how you want to receive this information by implementing the `SpanReceiver` interface, which defines one method:

HTrace also provides `ZipkinSpanReceiver` which converts spans to link:http://github.com/twitter/zipkin[Zipkin] span format and send them to Zipkin server.
In order to use this span receiver, you need to install the jar of htrace-zipkin to your HBase's classpath on all of the nodes in your cluster.

_htrace-zipkin_ is published to the maven central repository.
You could get the latest version from there or just build it locally and then copy it out to all nodes, change your config to use zipkin receiver, distribute the new configuration and then (rolling) restart.

If you do not want to use the included span receivers, you are encouraged to write your own receiver (take a look at `LocalFileSpanReceiver` for an example). If you think others would benefit from your receiver, file a JIRA or send a pull request to link:http://github.com/cloudera/htrace[HTrace].
