not really, all I can say is try and work with flat models and '=='
operators for performance - we currently don't optimise != or number ranges.
Avoid eval, predicate and return value unless you really need them. Keep
your consequences short and avoid flow logic in them, i.e. 'if'/'switch '
statements.

Ok, found the descriptions - for anyone interested, you need to switch into
'JBoss Rules' prospective and open 'Properties' tab. This way whenever you
select a node, information about the node would be displayed there
(Properties tab won't get activated automatically).

 

Mark, any general hints on correlations between diagram 'look' & performance
implications? (eg, "the more 'alpha' nodes, the worse/the better is
performance", "the more connections to the node, the ____ is performance",
etc)

 

Thanks

yes if you understand the rete diagram you can can help it with
understanding performance. If you click on a node it tells you the type.
Which are roughly
root, object type node, alpha node, join node, not node, exists node, eval
node and terminal node. Can't remenber which has which colour, but you
should be able to figure it out, we discuss the node types briefly in the
manual.

Hi,

 

I was trying to make some sense out of Rete Diagram for my rules (DROOLS
3.1M), and one of the questions I have is what all these colors mean? There
are red, blue, yellow, green, orange, white, cyan and black circles.... I
might be wrong, but I think this should mean something!

 

Also, I noticed that by default the diagram is displayed in 'layers' of
dots. In my case I have 7 layers, the top one being the 'root' I assume
(single white circle). The 'widest' layer is the middle one - the forth
layer. So, generally the diagram has a diamond shape. I wonder if one can
use this kind of visual information to make a rough estimation/assumption on
how efficient his rules/constraints are, some hints into optimization,
etc....

 

 

Thanks,

 

Vlad
