# Metadata query v2 protocol provides the layer-based query to various services monitored by SkyWalking ecosystem.
# It would adopt multiple-layer modern cloud native infrastructure.
# In the v9 core, v1 protocol is provided on the top of the v2 implementation.
# The v1's services, Databases, Browsers are all services with layer=general, layer=database, layer=browser.
# Each service would have native definition about instance and endpoint.

# Service is a logic concept, representing a collection of runnable context.
type Service {

    # All metrics of the service would refer to this ID.
    # The layer ID would not be included in the service ID, as a service could have multidimensional monitoring, such as ALS + DP for the same service
    # ----- Storage -----
    # Row ID in service_traffic entity includes layer ID.
    # Service ID = BASE64(name) + '.' + Layer ID
