Ruben Q L commented on CALCITE-4737:
------------------------------------

In {{org/apache/calcite/config/CalciteSystemProperty.java}} there seems to be 
already some properties that control what to be displayed by Volcano planner:
{code}
  /**
   * Whether to include a GraphViz representation when dumping the state of the 
Volcano planner.
   */
  public static final CalciteSystemProperty<Boolean> DUMP_GRAPHVIZ = 
booleanProperty("calcite.volcano.dump.graphviz", true);

  /**
   * Whether to include <code>RelSet</code> information when dumping the state 
of the Volcano planner.
   */
  public static final CalciteSystemProperty<Boolean> DUMP_SETS = 
booleanProperty("calcite.volcano.dump.sets", true);
{code}

These properties are used by {{VolcanoPlanner#dump}} (called when 
{{LOGGER.isTraceEnabled()}} or in case of a {{CannotPlanException}}).

What about adding a new property in {{CalciteSystemProperty.java}}, e.g. 
something like:
{code}
public static final CalciteSystemProperty<Boolean> DUMP_HTMLGRAPHVIZ = 
booleanProperty("calcite.volcano.dump.htmlgraphviz", false);
{code}
Together with other necessary properties (e.g. default output directory, 
filename prefix, etc). And take it into consideration in 
{{VolcanoPlanner#dump}}. Then Calcite clients could disable the "traditional" 
graphviz and enable the new visualizer (or enable both, or neither) as they 
wish.

What do you think, [~thomas.rebele] et al?
