Re: [rules-users] How to make this rule more memory efficient?
The general idea of the inverted approach shown below is to keep the
fan-out in the Rete network as small as possible. Note the id >
$proxy1.id, which reduces the ProxyCells that are considered. Also,
the lookup of the the name if $proxy2 in the references of $cell1
should keep things bounded. - I hope I got alle the 1s and 2s right,
but you should get the general idea ;-)
rule "Check consistent references"
when
$proxy1 : ProxyCell()
$cell1 : Cell( id == $proxy1.id )
$proxy2 : ProxyCell( id > $proxy1.id,
eval( $cell1.references contains this.name ) )
$cell2 : Cell( id == $proxy2.id,
eval( this.references not contains $proxy1.name ) )
then
//report an error.....
end

Hi,
Can anyone advise me on how to make a drools rule more memory efficient?
Here is the problem:
I have a Cell and a ProxyCell object classes.
The ProxyCell represents the Cell when their internal ID's match.
Each Cell and ProxyCell however has a unique name (not same as ID).
A Cell can reference (by name) a ProxyCell (as long as the ProxyCell does
not represent that actual Cell - which would effectively be a self-reference
and is not allowed).
What I want to do is find out where I have a reference from any instance of
Cell - cell1 - to any instance of ProxyCell - proxycell2 - but am missing a
reference from cell2 to proxycell1 where proxycell2 is a representation of
cell2 and proxycell1 is a representation of cell1.
Here is the rule I have written for it:
rule "Check consistent references"
when
$cell1 : Cell()
$cell2 : Cell()
$proxycell1 : ProxyCell ( id = $cell1.id, $cell2.references contains
this.name )
$proxycell2 : ProxyCell ( id = $cell2.id, $cell1.references not
contains this.name )
then
//report an error.....
end
I have 10,000 instances of Cell and 10,000 instances of ProxyCell in working
memory. For each instance of Cell, it can have references to 60 different
ProxyCell instances. Loading the Cell and ProxyCell instances into working
memory is not a problem. However, when I try to run this rule above, the
memory quickly goes above 1GB and I eventually get an out of memory error.
I was wondering if there is a better way to structure or write this rule so
that it doesn't use so much memory.
Thanks,
Ryan.
