Josh Wills commented on CRUNCH-438:
-----------------------------------

I think it has functional value-- my customers are always happy to have more 
tools for debugging pipelines, so I don't mind the additional hooks into the 
planner code. My one concern would be around making the inner planner classes 
like Vertex and NodePath accessible from outside of the plan package vs. 
keeping all of the (extensive) dotfile code underneath the plan package, but I 
could be convinced either way on that one.

For the time being, I didn't have any plans to add lifecycle hooks into the 
planner for other use cases-- what are some examples of things that people 
would want to do there?

> To improve the understability of the pipeline planning stages it would help 
> to visualize some intermediate planning states like:
> - PCollection lineage. (visualizing the output-pcollection-targets structure) 
> - MSCRPlanner's planning Graphs before and after the split up of dependent 
> GBK nodes
> - RTNode hierarchy along with the Input and Output configurations as 
> persistent in the Configuration before the execution of the pipeline. 
> Most of the information can be intercepted in the MSCRPlanner#plan()  method.
