[rules-users] questions about Drools Fusion perfomance

[Mauricio Salatino]

Hi Murilo,
Drools Fusion will automatically retract the event if it's not needed
anymore, for example if you are calculating the average using sliding
windows, as soon as the event falls out of the sliding windows and don't
match any other rule it will be automatically retracted if Drools is
operating in Stream Mode.

About persisting the internal state, you can configure the persistence
mechanisms, but in my opinion it will be better if you store using your own
mechanisms the average and re initialize the state when you want to start
monitoring again.


Cheers
