             Summary: RelRule.Config requires too much ceremony for trivial 
cases
                 Key: CALCITE-6010
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-6010
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
            Reporter: Vladimir Sitnikov


It takes a lot to implement RelRule.Config even for trivial cases when no extra 
configuration options needed.

Sample:

https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/d9dd3ac8a9f695e111a0a5e77f45b61b90f4b5b6/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/rel/rules/TableScanRule.java#L72C35-L78

It requires users:
1) Use immutables or implement Config manually. Adding immutables processor 
adds compile-time overhead, and implementing the interface manually is not 
trivial
2) Implement CustomRule(Config) constructor
3) Implement Config.toRule() by calling CustomRule(Config)

---

I suggest:
1) Drop method Config.toRule(), and suggest users to call new ...Rule(config) 
directly.
2) Provide default Config implementation along with Calcite. For instance 
DefaultConfig.EMPTY, DefaultConfigBuilder...
3) Use composition for custom configurations, in other words, let custom rules 
have their own attributes, and one of the attributes could be default config.
For instance: {{data class AggregateExpandDistinctAggregatesRule.Config(config 
RelRule.Config, usingGroupingSets Boolean)}}

It would make it easier for users to implement config objects, and it would 
reduce the code size (generated bytecode and native image size) as the current 
Calcite approach duplicates the same "Config" methods like withOperandSupplier 
across all the Config implementations
