34 * The viewer session's current trace chunk is initially set, when
35 * a viewer attaches to the viewer session, to a copy the corresponding
36 * relay_session's current trace chunk.
37 *
38 * A live session always attempts to "catch-up" to the newest available
39 * trace chunk. This means that when a viewer reaches the end of a
40 * trace chunk, the viewer session may not transition to the "next" one:
41 * it jumps to the most recent trace chunk available (the one being
42 * produced by the relay_session). Hence, if the producer performs
43 * multiple rotations before a viewer completes the consumption of a
44 * trace chunk, it will skip over those "intermediary" trace chunks.
45 *
46 * A viewer session updates its current trace chunk when:
47 * 1) new viewer streams are created,
48 * 2) a new index is requested,
49 * 3) metadata is requested.
50 *
51 * Hence, as a general principle, the viewer session will reference the
52 * most recent trace chunk available _even if its streams do not point to
53 * it_. It indicates which trace chunk viewer streams should transition
54 * to when the end of their current trace chunk is reached.
