//! Optimizer interface to the adapter and coordinator code.
//!
//! The goal of this crate is to abstract optimizer specifics behind a
//! high-level interface that is ready to be consumed by the coordinator code in
//! a future-proof way (that is, the API is taking the upcoming evolution of
//! these components into account).
//!
//! The contents of this crate should have minimal dependencies to the rest of
//! the coordinator code so we can pull them out as a separate crate in the
//! future without too much effort.
//!
//! The main type in this module is a very simple [`Optimize`] trait which
//! allows us to adhere to the following principles:
//!
//! - Implementors of this trait are structs that encapsulate all context
//!   required to optimize a statement of type `T` end-to-end (for example
//!   [`materialized_view::Optimizer`] for `T` = `MaterializedView`).
//! - Each struct implements [`Optimize`] once for each optimization stage. The
//!   `From` type represents the input of the stage and `Self::To` the
//!   associated stage output. This allows to have more than one entrypoints to
//!   a pipeline.
//! - The concrete types used for stage results are opaque structs that are
//!   specific to the pipeline of that statement type.
//!   - We use different structs even if two statement types might have
//!     structurally identical intermediate results. This ensures that client
//!     code cannot first execute some optimization stages for one type and then
//!     some stages for a different type.
//!   - The only way to construct such a struct is by running the [`Optimize`]
//!     stage that produces it. This ensures that client code cannot interfere
//!     with the pipeline.
//!   - In general, the internals of these structs can be accessed only behind a
//!     shared reference. This ensures that client code can look up information
//!     from intermediate stages but cannot modify it.
//!   - Timestamp selection is modeled as a conversion between structs that are
//!     adjacent in the pipeline using a method called `resolve`.
//!   - The struct representing the result of the final stage of the
//!     optimization pipeline can be destructed to access its internals with a
//!     method called `unapply`.
//! - The `Send` trait bounds on the `Self` and `From` types ensure that
//!   [`Optimize`] instances can be passed to different threads (this is
//!   required of off-thread optimization).
//!
//! For details, see the `20230714_optimizer_interface.md` design doc in this
//! repository.

// Core API
// --------

/// A trait that represents an optimization stage.
///
/// The trait is implemented by structs that encapsulate the context needed to
/// run an end-to-end optimization pipeline for a specific statement type
/// (`Index`, `View`, `MaterializedView`, `Subscribe`, `Select`).
///
/// Each implementation represents a concrete optimization stage for a fixed
/// statement type that consumes an input of type `From` and produces output of
/// type `Self::To`.
///
/// The generic lifetime `'ctx` models the lifetime of the optimizer context and
/// can be passed to the optimizer struct and the `Self::To` types.
///
/// The `'s: 'ctx` bound in the `optimize` method call ensures that an optimizer
/// instance can run an optimization stage that produces a `Self::To` with
/// `&'ctx` references.

    /// in the [`Self::optimize`] call are caught and demoted to an
    /// [`OptimizerError::Internal`] error.

    /// should panic, then panic.

// Optimizer configuration
// -----------------------

/// Feature flags for the optimizer.
///
/// To add a new feature flag, do the following steps:
///
/// 1. To make the flag available to all stages in our [`Optimize`] pipelines
///    and allow engineers to set a system-wide override:
///    1. Add the flag to the `optimizer_feature_flags!(...)` macro call.
///    2. Add the flag to the `feature_flags!(...)` macro call and extend the
///       `From<&SystemVars>` implementation for [`OptimizerFeatures`].
///
/// 2. To enable `EXPLAIN ... WITH(...)` overrides which will allow engineers to
///    inspect plan differences before deploying the optimizer changes:
///    1. Add the flag to the `ExplainPlanOptionName` definition.
///    2. Add the flag to the `generate_extracted_config!(ExplainPlanOption,
///       ...)` macro call.
///    3. Extend the `TryFrom<ExplainPlanOptionExtracted>` implementation for
///       [`mz_repr::explain::ExplainConfig`].
///
/// 3. To enable `CLUSTER ... FEATURES(...)` overrides which will allow
///    engineers to experiment with runtime differences before deploying the
///    optimizer changes:
///    1. Add the flag to the `ClusterFeatureName` definition.
///    2. Add the flag to the `generate_extracted_config!(ClusterFeature, ...)`
///       macro call.
///    3. Extend the `let optimizer_feature_overrides = ...` call in
///       `plan_create_cluster`.
