Prisma1: Add tracing information

[kbrandwijk]

What feature are you missing?
Generic support for tracing information. When using tracing/Apollo Engine in the Gateway, the Graphcool endpoint is still a black box with regards to tracing, because the information is not available. It would be very, very useful if this information was exposed from Graphcool.

How could this feature look like in detail? Tradeoffs?

Apollo tracing is great and all, but there's also a similar and robust standard called OpenTracing: http://opentracing.io/

I'm not sure it's an either-or decision, but just FYI.

Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't looked at OpenTracing before. Do you have any experience with it in regard to GraphQL?

Sorry, I don't have a ton of experience. We're just in the formative stages of adopting open tracing at my company.

I would love to see Apollo Tracing provide a standard for GraphQL OpenTracing implementations. I'll add comments to the core spec ticket.
