[Discussion] Seata and SkyWalking integration proposal

Hi Seata team,

I am glad to see the project has more contributors to join. As Apache SkyWalking creator, I am wondering, does Seata have interested to provides SkyWalking plugins, in order to observe how seata works with applications.

This is your architecture Right now, SkyWalking could trace and provide metric for most RPC and DB accesses. Now if Seata could provide tracing based on SkyWalking agent plugin, which works between application and your TC, then user could see the status of seata, and have metrics(successful rate, latency, even topology) related to TC and whole distributed transaction.

I don't know whether this idea makes sense to seata team, since we already work with Dubbo and SOFA team tightly, I hope we could integrate on this point too.

If you have more ideas to discuss, and what we should do, we could discuss here.
