Kafka producer and consumer showing different traces with separate IDs

[Samarth888]

Hi, I am experiencing a problem where I am getting separate traces for producer and consumer instead of a single trace. I am using Zipkin backend. I have auto instrumented the kafka producer and consumer both and have added required system properties/dependencies, but in Zipkin, it is shown with separate traces: one for producer (with publish span) and another for consumer. I have also checked the headers in debug mode and I can view traceparent clearly. So, what might be the problem here and how can I ensure propagation?
