Hey Team, When fetching spans, in query service code, it uses timestamp to querying datas. Isn’t span.startTime a better option because timestamp only refers when database transaction happens? Maybe I’m misunderstanding something… for whatever reasons there could be a small gap between when trace data retrieved and and the time when it exported into clickhouse?

@Vishal Sharma do you have more insights on this

Hey @seongbeen,

timestamp

is inserted with

span.startTime

So

timestamp

column refers start time of span Check this line on our collector: https://github.com/SigNoz/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/56e9e96015b99a60174c6fbbd63780c675ca4623/exporter/clickhouseexporter/writer.go#L146

Thank you @Vishal Sharma! I thought is was just timestamp..
