Provide a way to upload/download a trace to debug it
Currently it is really hard to debug a trace because we don't know what is the data being represented in the UI. Issues like discrepancy of data or missing fields (e.g. https://github.com/hypertrace/hypertrace-ui/issues/283) can be debugged in this way, otherwise hard to.
Ideally we should use a format that can be: downloaded over http, uploaded over http and consumed easily (e.g. http). Zipkin format fits in all this as we can ingest zipkin data. It will also safe the need to build (or use) tools like https://github.com/jcchavezs/jaeger2zipkin
Some examples on how debugging will be better:

Ping @kotharironak @jake-bassett @JBAhire @adriancole @buchi-busireddy
Agree on this. It will surely make things easier!
@buchi-busireddy you were suggesting something on this? Can you provide more details?
@jcchavezs can this issue be moved to hypertrace as this is a feature request?
