The trace plugin is intended to generate a trace of what happens in PDI data store.
The plugin is very simple; just list its name in the specification tree and you're done.
The plugin then generates a (somewhat verbose) trace on the standard error.
For example:
Each line starting by =>> data becoming available in the store
means a new piece of data has been shared.
Each line starting by <<= data stop being available in the store
means a piece of data is being removed from the store.
Each line starting by !!! named event
means a named event has been emitted.
