[rules-users] Drools 5.3 partitioned rule base

I am trying to run a partitioned rule base as we have a need to evaluate a large number of facts. We have around 160 rules which are coordinated using jBPM rule-flow groups(intermingled with some lightweight business logic). The business logic in the process executed quickly(80ms for 10,000 facts) but the rules take sometime to evaluate(thus why I thought a partitioned rule base would work). However when I try to run it I get the stack trace below. Do I need to do something to the session as well? java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error launching test com.nasdaq.backoffice.billing.process.PhlxCoreProcessTest public void
