TLDR ELLIOTTCABLE asked about the 'model' string in the 'signoz_spans' table. Ankit explained it as a complete JSON dump of a span and provided insight into its function in data sorting.
`model` has everything about the span. It's like a complete json dump of a span. `signoz_spans` table was built to enable different sorting key `trace_id` . This enables fast fetching of spans belonging to a `trace_id`
