The backbeat CLI: inspect and convert self-describing trace dumps to Parquet
Documentation

//! Shared dump-loading model behind both output formats.
//!
//! A dump is decoded once into a [`Loaded`] — its `instance_id`, schema registry, intern table, and
//! the flat list of records recovered from every shard (sorted into the global
//! `(ts_nanos, shard_id, local_seq)` order). The Parquet ([`crate::convert`]) and Chrome-trace
//! ([`crate::trace`]) writers both build on `&[Loaded]`, so multi-dump merge is uniform: load each
//! input (in parallel), then hand the slice to the writer.
