sorry I misread that, you've put the binding first, not using a nested accessor.

Currently you have
$call : BINNING_INPUT()
$device_typeLookup : LU_DEVICE_TYPE( $call.device_type == device_type )

try rewriting it as:
$call : BINNING_INPUT()
$device_typeLookup : LU_DEVICE_TYPE( device_type == $call.device_type )

I know edson was working on making such that the order no longer matters, I'm not sure what progress he made on that and he's away at the moment so can't answer. It may be that he's already done that work and it's correctly getting executed as an indexed constraint, or it might be rewritting to an eval. Hopefully edson can answer when he gets back.

Ass Mauricio suggests, maybe you can restrict the number of instances for BINNING_INPUT and LU_DEVICE_TYPE too.

Nested accessors are not currently indexed, because we cannot assure their immutability:
$call.device_type

If people changed indexed nested accessors, without correctly notifying the engine it would result in integrity problems.

If you have a large number of these, trying flattening the model, such as you would do in a database.

Folks:

My co-workers and I have been using Drools to great success, but we ran smack into a performance brick wall recently.

In the example below, both BINNING_INPUT and LU_DEVICE_TYPE have large numbers of associated facts in working memory (BINNING_INPUT has more than 8 million facts in working memory, LU_DEVICE_TYPE about 10k.)

LU_DEVICE_TYPE models a lookup table.

rule "Binning for Attribute: Device_type_desc"
when
    $call :
      BINNING_INPUT()
    $device_typeLookup :
      LU_DEVICE_TYPE(
        $call.device_type == device_type
      )

then
    $call.setDevice_type_desc($device_typeLookup.getDevice_type_desc());
end

It's a simple enough rule: join on the device_type field. Unfortunately, this rule and a few others like it are taking FOREVER to insert. Even when I cut the number of BINNING_INPUT facts in working memory down from 8M to 10k.

This feels like a basic Drools question. But I can't seem to find any help from google.

Please advise!

Thanks in advance,

Dave Martin
