DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Creates a sink used to export trace spans to a destination.

The sink's destination must be a BigQuery dataset. The destination must alreadyexist. The identity created with the sink will need permission to write to thedestination dataset. After creating a sink look for the[writer_identity] to be populated in the response. With thatidentity run the following command to give it permission:

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding {bigquery_project_id} \ --memberserviceAccount:{writer_identity from trace_sink} \ --roleroles/bigquery.dataEditor

You may also find an existing writer identity by describing a sink.

It may take several minutes before trace spans are exported after the sink iscreated.
