+#### AlwaysRecord
+
+**Status**: [Development](../document-status.md)
+
+This is a sampler decorator. `AlwaysRecord` helps to have spans between
+always be processed by `SpanProcessor`s. It returns the following given
+a sampled flag from the root sampler:
+
+* Root sampler returns `DROP` -> AlwaysRecord returns `RECORD_ONLY`
+* Root sampler returns `RECORD_ONLY` -> AlwaysRecord returns `RECORD_ONLY`
+* Root sampler returns `RECORD_AND_SAMPLE` -> AlwaysRecord returns `RECORD_AND_SAMPLE`
+
+Required parameters:
+
+* `root(Sampler)` - A delegate sampler called to determine whether a span
+is sampled or dropped
+
 #### CompositeSampler
