To me, the problem discussed in this thread highlights a deeper problem (more than DT
compile time) : using DT as data storage is bad.
Wolfgang's post demonstrate this fact.
Previous posts demonstrate another problem : having 50k, 100k rules with the very same
(basic) structure demonstrate that people don't think much about what they are doing
(and using), but fall into quick-and-dirty additions into an already too fat and confuse
system. This sentence from zeeshan is symptomatic : "because if it can run for 26k
initially, then it should continue running with the same or more number of records"
... no, everything has a limit. Indeed, rules system allows to handle big KB and big data
set, but they are not magic (another sentence from zeeshan : "... when I started
working on Drools, I was assured with performance and ease in developing business
rule" : Does your guy assumes that whatever KB or data size ??? If yes, stop believe
him).
And I am pretty sure that the WHOLE COMMUNITY is almost never using such big DT (or at
least I hope so).
