Hi Earnie,
What you are explaining seems pretty straight forward and would more likely
than not be overkill to use a rule engine. Are there other aspects of the
system you are leaving out that warrant the use of Drools?

Greetings all,
I have a requirement to compare a set of facts against each other,
calculate a value that indicates the amount of difference (Levenshtein
distance) between a single attribute on each fact. So I load all of my facts
into working memory then what? Do I execute a rule first that creates a new
set of facts which is a Cartesian product of the original set of facts, each
new fact containing a reference to two original facts and the diff between
them? Looked at using a custom accumulate function but I don't think that's
going to do what I need since it is intended to go through a set of facts
and return a single value.
Any and all related help is appreciated.
Earnie!
