Salience is just one way to force the evaluation of a condition before others. In fact, using salience throughout is just a way of re-creating a sequence of plain old if statements using a rules engine.

I'm not going to waste my time and yours by elaborating on possible alternatives unless you come up with a detailed description of your rules, and how you run your rules engine: fact insertion, calls to fire, etc.

I am not sure I understand that. What is the other option for this case. Why would simple rules not work for 20 K rules. Am I missing something. I cannot use database to store my rules. Drools also gives me salience which I need for my usecase.

And my rules are very simple it is like if string comparison then set that's it..

This doesn't really warrant the use of a rule based system. If keeping this logic out of the application or an easy maintenance of these if-then's are your main goals, there are other ways. I've already hinted at this, with the idea of providing the information embedded in similar rules as data.
