In order to tune our cluster, we want to understand what elasticsearch do when a query arrive.

Usually we use jaeger for that , (I am a big fan of elasticAPM too), is it possible to profile elasticsearch like that?

So elasticsearch spans could be included with our app spans.

(i know there is a profiler endpoint already).
