What and how are you timing?<br><br>Executing exactly this rule on three event types with just an int id, running with<br> <br> long t0 = System.currentTimeMillis();<br> int count = 50;<br> for( int i = 1; i < count; i++ ){<br>
session.insert( new EventA( i ) );<br> session.insert( new EventB( i ) );<br> session.insert( new EventC( i ) );<br> } <br> session.fireAllRules();<br> long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();<br>
System.out.println( "execution of " + count + " triples: " + (double)(t1-t0)/1000.0 );<br><br>I get on a (not-too-hot) laptop (Linux, Eclipse)<br><br> execution of 10 triples: 0.020<br> execution of 20 triples: 0.023<br>
execution of 30 triples: 0.026<br> execution of 40 triples: 0.026<br><br>which is what I'd expect.<br> - With a String id, add about 0.005s<br> - With fireAllRules in the loop, add another 0.015s<br><br>With fireUntilHalt issued from another thread, timing is trickier, so please explain this in detail.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">It basically says: act upon every group of A, B and C
events with the same ids. The retract statements will make sure, none of these
events will get matched again by this rule. Side question: is there any
possibility to do this rule without the retractions?</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Regarding the performance:</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">If I put the arriving events in this sequence: A(x),
B(x), C(x) where x is the number of events being sent. No other events than A,
B and C with the same id being sent. And I repeat this sequence a small number
of runs (12 times in a row), then it will take Drools:</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">For x=8, on average 3 seconds to detect all 96
patterns,</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">for x=16, on average 30 seconds to detect all 192
patterns. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">But the average is not very meaningful. Sometimes the
Engine does it in (x=16) 10 seconds, and sometimes it takes him over a minute
to detect everything, sometimes it takes him nearly forever for no reason. We
tested this on different machines and we cannot predict a “stable”
behaviour. We figured out, that this instability might come from fireUntilHalt,
which we invoke from a separate thread. Some ABC groups get detected faster
than others and the total duration is totally variable as stated before.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">When calling fireAllRules upon every insert, the
total duration is stable (4,5 sec for x=16 and 12 runs) and also the detection
time for every ABC group seems to be even. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">So a few questions: whats the problem with
fireUntilHalt? Are we using it the wrong way? If fireAllRules is used after every
insert, can rules be triggered by actions of other rules? For event stream
processing a solution that fires almost always is desirable.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">Why is the overall performance so poor? If I do x=32
and do just one run, which means just a total of 32*3= 96 events being sent and
it takes him 2,6 seconds to detect all 32 patterns. That’s not very fast,
is it?</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">I’m using Drools 5.1.1 and the latest JDK.</span></font></p>
