Hello everyone,

First of all, thanks for this great effort of improving the core parts of
the framework we all are using,
I believe this is long overdue and hope this will have benefits both for
the maintainers and users of the library.

I don't have anything to say about the general idea at the moment,
but I want to make a point that maintaining the old implementation of
VolcanoPlanner during
the initial stages of implementing the new planner is absolutely CRITICAL.
As a lot of users of Calcite do various customizations to the engine, to
the rules
and all that is there in between, I believe changing the implementation of
the core component
would have a huge impact on most users of the library. I think many on this
list
already experienced problems with upgrading even between the minor versions
of Calcite,
so I guess changing the planner would lead to changes in tons of rules and
even more tests.

I don't have anything against replacing VolcanoPlanner as a final goal of
this effort,
but I don't think that modifying it directly and merging it to master is a
viable development approach.
While I understand how burdensome it is to maintain several parallel core
components at once
(we did this while moving the engine of our product to Calcite), we should
still respect those who depend
on it and not introduce the risks related to the development of a new
component into existing processing flows.

A good model to try to follow would be the way new Garbage Collectors are
introduced in Java.
First, add it as an experimental option, then make it generally available,
then after everyone agrees
this is the best option - make it the default one.
With this approach, everyone can then move to the new planner at their own
pace, guaranteeing a smooth transition overall.
Yes, this could take some time, maybe even a year, but this is the price of
doing major changes in a popular framework.

Again, thank you for initiating this discussion and leading this effort.

Best Regards,
Andrii Tsvielodub
