    It has not been an issue with Eclipse. I wonder if it will be for IntelliJ? 
Eclipse cares about the generated sources only when we step into them. 
Otherwise, Eclipse completely ignores the zillions of old generated files that 
might be lying around. And, since we generate a new copy of the file each time 
we generate it, the new copy will replace the old one. Even if Eclipse had the 
old file open from a previous session, it will replace the old one with the new 
one once Eclipse switches to that window.
    
    Again, I need to look into IntelliJ to see if a more elaborate solution is 
needed for that tool.
    
    I like your suggestion to document this. Once all this is committed, I'll 
submit a JIRA to add documentation about how to use this, along with the 
IntelliJ issues, to the Developer Information page on the Drill web site.


> Enable generated code debugging in each Drill operator

>                 Key: DRILL-5116

>             Project: Apache Drill
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 1.9.0
>            Reporter: Paul Rogers

>            Priority: Minor

> DRILL-5052 adds the ability to debug generated code. Some of the code 
> generated by Drill's operators has minor problems when compiled directly 
> using the new technique. These issues are ignore by the byte-code-merge 
> technique uses in production. This ticket asks to try the DRILL-5052 feature 
> in each operator, clean up any minor problems, and ensure each operator 
> generates code suitable for debugging. Use the new 
> {{CodeGenerator.plainOldJavaCapable()}} method to mark each generated class 
> as ready for "plain-old Java" code gen.
> The advantages of this feature are two:
> 1. Ability to step through the generated code to increase understanding of 
> existing operators and to ease development of improvements to existing 
> operators and of any new operators we choose to create.
> 2. Open the door to experimenting with how to improve performance of the 
> generated code.
