Re: Re: [rules-users] Independent rule evaluations

Yuri, Right now, the only way is to work with different rule bases and working memories. Even using agenda-groups or rule-flow, rules are still being eagerly evaluated, as this is how standard Rete works. The problem of creating and canceling too many activations is a known problem and the only way around it right now is sequential mode, but sequential mode has some restrictions on what you can do. For instance, you must work with a stateless working memory and can not modify/retract facts in your rules to work with sequential mode, but it will give you big performance boosts. We are evaluating the possibility of creating physical network partitions for next version, but that will require some R&D yet.
