    attributes: @opentelemetry/api.Attributes,
    links: @opentelemetry/api.Link[],
): @opentelemetry/api.SamplingResult
Checks whether span needs to be created and tracked.
Parameters
- context: @opentelemetry/api.Context
  Parent Context which may contain a span.
- traceId: string
  of the span to be created. It can be different from the traceId in the SpanContext. Typically in situations when the span to be created starts a new trace.
- spanName: string
  of the span to be created.
- spanKind: @opentelemetry/api.SpanKind
  of the span to be created.
- attributes: @opentelemetry/api.Attributes
  Initial set of SpanAttributes for the Span being constructed.
- links: @opentelemetry/api.Link[]
  Collection of links that will be associated with the Span to be created. Typically useful for batch operations.
Returns @opentelemetry/api.SamplingResult
a SamplingResult.
