Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6211:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for catching that, Knut. I think this may mean that OptimizerTracer
needs to move out of the tools jar and into the engine jar. The right thing
might be to move all of the optional tools into the engine jar since none of
them really needs to be in the tools jar. Dag wondered about this in a
2013-01-03 comment on DERBY-6022. For the moment I will just move
OptimizerTracer and see if that helps. Thanks.

> 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.
