Issue #6919 was caused by an incorrect assumption: I *assumed* that we see the tracing session record, we can be sure that the event records for this session had already been written. In this patch we add a paragraph to the tracing documentation - docs/tracing.md, which explains that this assumption is in fact incorrect: 1. On a multi-node setup, replicas may continue to write tracing events after the coordinator "finished" (moved to background) the request and wrote the session record. 2. Even on a single-node setup, the writes of the session record and the individual events are asynchronous, and can happen in an unexpected order (which is what happened in issue #6919). Refs #6919.

Scylla developer documentation
This folder (and its subfolders) contain developer-oriented documentation concerning the Scylla codebase. We also have a wiki, which contains additional developer-oriented documentation. There is currently no clear definition of what goes where, so when looking for something be sure to check both.
Seastar documentation can be found here.
User documentation can be found on docs.scylladb.com
