Ok. What syntax should be used to set all optimizer (or optimizer.join_cache) settings to their defaults? Lots of programming languages use xxx.yyy notation to denote access to member yyy of some composite entity xxx, so when one writes optimizer.join_cache.bka it hints that 'optimizer' is an entity that you could operate on as a whole. If we use optimizer_joincache_bka than personally for me it is not clear that 'optimizer' is an entity I could operate on.
