Hello everyone, I'm new to the OTEL community (and python 🌈 ( and writing github issues)).

I've been trying to instrument a python app with the RedisInstrumentor.

I have an issue with noisy redis spans in my collector. Ideally, I don't want to collect any spans without a parent_id attached.

It would be neat to be able to pass an additional keyword arg (something along the lines of trace_root_span) so that when the instrument method is called, it breaks out early and does not process any span where span.parent is None.

eg: RedisInstrumentor().instrument(request_hook=request_hook, response_hook=response_hook, trace_root_span: false)

I saw this neat configuration option in the ruby redis instrumentation which ignores spans without a parent id.

I thought I would be able to use the response_hook to ignore spans without a parent but I still saw spans in my collector as the response is returned here.

Additional context
I may be missing something obvious and happy to close the issue (or try open a PR) if there is a way to do this via a response_hook 👍
