RE: [rules-users] To insert facts or use the find clause?

Don't ask me to explain why but the Drools team always recommend flattening hierarchies before inserting into WM ;-) I *think* this allows for individual facts' properties to be indexed in the RETE network thus affording a performance increase. I guess there's also implications to do with truth maintenance whereby objects accessed using "from" should be time-constant. My 2c's worth; I'm sure Edson, Mark, Michael et al will elaborate.

I would like to use Drools to reason about a graph structure using queries. The graph consists of a collection of nodes, which in turn each have a collection of edges to nodes. Currently, I have a single fact in the Drools working memory, the graph. My queries then use the "from" clause to obtain information about the nodes and edges within the graph. I was wondering if it would be better to instead traverse the entire structure adding each node and edge as facts into the working memory. Any ideas?
