Chris,

   I haven't tried your code, but just looking at the rule, there is no temporal correlation between DataReading and ReconfigEvent, so if I am not mistaken, that will create a required interval of infinite time when the temporal reasoning is applied, meaning the engine has to keep the readings in memory forever. 

   Adding a temporal constraint on the ReconfigEvent pattern on your rule or defining an explicit expiration policy for the DataReadings are ways to work around that.

Hello

I am performing a simple test of injecting an event every 1 millisecond
like so:

      for (int x = 0; x < 100000; x++){
        DataReading dr = new DataReading("Reading " + x, 12.0f);
        myStream.insert(dr);
        ksession.fireAllRules();
        Thread.sleep(1);

      }


The rule that evaluates this is simple.  It basically delays "then" for
3s to see if a followup reading is inserted and makes sure that no
ReconfigEvent is active(5s expiration).

So if a reading comes in and a followup reading is not inserted within 3
seconds and there is is not an existing ReconfigEvent event alive, then
it should output and insert a ReconfigEvent, essentially disabling any
DataReading action on those events for the next 5 seconds or so.  This
all works just fine as expected.

My question is, how come I don't get memory back when all 100,000 of my
events have been inserted.  Memory goes up slowly over the course of
insertions, which I can understand, but once that loop is finished,
memory never reduces, so essentially, the application will eventually
run out of memory after some time.   I should not have to explicitly
remove/retract events should I? Shouldn't they be removed from working
memory as soon as they are no longer viable?  What should I be doing to
reclaim memory from the session/knowledgebase?

I have included the full Main program here and the Sample.drl file below it.
