Hi,

Sorry, internal link. But the chapter is in the 5.5.0.Final docs too, look it up there.

I'm still running unit tests with very little entities / variables. That is then probably the cause.

First I thought it was because I wrote my own move factory, but after reverting to the default classes, it remained the same.
So, I do want to use a custom move factory; in that case would it be wise to change to "Cached shuffled selection" (because all moves are already cached because of my custom factory (without iterator - for the moment))?
Or would the benefit still be minimal?

Let the benchmarker (see manual) make that call for you.
Configure production sized datasets and see which of both configs works best.
Thanks

Michiel

Hi,

I noticed something really strange in my trace logging: certain moves are made multiple times, even consecutive.
How is this possible?
I am using Planner 5.5.0.Final and no custom move factories (see config below).

"Just in time random selection" could explain this behavior. Read this section:
  https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/Drools%20jBPM/view/Master/job/drools-planner/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/drools-planner-docs/target/docbook/publish/en-US/html_single/index.html#d0e5069

"selectionOrder RANDOM (default): Select the selections (Moves, entities, values, ...) in non-shuffled random order. A selection might be selected multiple times. This scales up well in performance because it does not require caching."

It's very unlikely that this happens, except for toy problems. How many entities and variables does this dataset have?

Switch to "Cached shuffled selection" to avoid it. Read those docs to understand the trade-off.
