Retries
Each retry attempt is recorded as an individual child span. This means a trace will show how many attempts were taken, which of them failed with an error, and which one was successful.
Markup pattern
The parent span covers the entire operation. Each attempt is a separate child span with the same name. Unsuccessful attempts get the ERROR status, and successful ones, OK. The http.resend_count attribute indicates the sequence number of the retry, starting with 1 for the first retry.
