Hi，teams

Can we create a new API for `trace` for search profile. as we all know the `profile` API can list the shard request execution time and phase.

With the only help of `profile` API, some cases we can not know the true root case for slow search. We don't have a whole trace view of a specific search execution.

A new `trace` API can list the **whole search phase** and execution time, for example:

1. search transport time
2. search queue wait time
3. shard request execute shard search request time (similar to `profile` API)
4. coordinator receive shard response time (which shard is fast and which shard is slowest)
5. coordinator reduce shard request time if have aggregations
6. coordinator search response time  
.....

Is there any plan to support more details profile for search of whole phase time spend. not only just Lucene search?
