How to Simulate Trace Sampling Head in Python
Simulate head-based probabilistic trace sampling on mock trace data with a configurable sample rate and optional seed for reproducibility.
import random
def trace_sampling_head(mock_traces, sample_rate=0.5, seed=None):
"""Simulate probabilistic trace sampling (head-based) on mock data.
Args:
mock_traces: list of trace dictionaries with a unique 'trace_id'
sample_rate: float 0.0-1.0, probability of keeping a trace
