Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-6211:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: derby-6211-01-aa-createPlugin.diff

Attaching derby-6211-01-aa-createPlugin.diff. This patch abstracts out the 
optimizer trace logic so that other tracers can be plugged in. I am running 
tests now.

This patch makes the following changes:

1) Adds a new interface OptTrace, which describes the trace operations 
performed by the Optimizer.

2) Removes the generic trace dispatcher from Level2OptimizerImpl. The giant 
switch statement is removed and the individual cases are moved into separate 
methods in DefaultOptTrace, the default implementation of OptTrace. 
DefaultOptTrace produces the familiar, current optimizer trace output. The 
generic, opaque, weakly typed trace() method is removed and replaced by the 
strongly typed methods in OptTrace.

3) Removes the trace flag constants from Optimizer.

4) Makes trace callers use the new strongly typed methods in OptTrace.

I have run some hand tests. With and without this patch, the output of 
optimizer tracing looks the same.

Follow-on patches can introduce alternative trace plugins.

> Right now the trace logic in the optimizer is hard-coded to produce a stream 
> of diagnostics. It would be good to be able to plug alternative trace logic 
> into the optimizer. This would make the following possible:
> 1) Plug in trace logic which produces formats which are easier to study and 
> which can be analyzed mechanically. E.g., xml formatted output.
> 2) Plug in trace logic which can be used during unit testing to verify that 
> the optimizer has picked the right plan. Over time this might make it easier 
> to migrate canon-based tests to assertion-based tests.
