An ML engineer is developing a RAG application in Python and wants to use the TruLens SDK to trace the distinct phases of its execution, specifically the context retrieval and answer generation steps. They aim to clearly differentiate the tracing of the function responsible for retrieving context.
Correct Answer: A
To instrument a function for context retrieval using the TruLens SDK and clearly differentiate its tracing, the decorator should be used with 'span_type=SpanAttributes.SpanType.RETRlEVAL'. This is directly demonstrated in the source for tracing a function with a specific span type. Option B uses a string literal for 'span_type' , which is not the correct way to reference the enum member. Option C uses 'SpanAttributes.SpanType.GENERATlON' , which is intended for LLM inference, not context retrieval. Option D uses the decorator without a specific 'span_type' , which would not clearly differentiate the context retrieval phase. Option E uses non- existent decorators and types(@trace_function', 'spanTypes').
