    It means "Trace, verbose" and can accept a filename parameter where the trace file will be created.

    See more details in the ITX documentation here.  This link is to the Apache HDFS adapter, but the trace options hold true across all the adapters:

    Use the -T, T+, -TV, -TV+, -TE, and -TE+ commands to specify the adapter log file full path.

    -T path(-TRACE)
    -T+ path(-TRACE+)
    -TV path(-TRACEVERBOSE)
    -TE path(-TRACEERROR)
    -TE+ path(-TRACEERROR+)
    Adapter log file full path. -T is for info level log -TV is for verbose (debug) level log and -TE is for logging errors only. If + is included, it means to append to the log file if it exists. If it does not exist a new file is created. the path argument can be omitted, in which case the default trace file name, m4hdfs.mtr (m4pdf.mtr in this case), is used and the file is created in the executable directory of the map.
