This is a nice simple jira, doesn't go to internal. few hours work for
any competent java developer? Any one want to give it a go? Otherwise it
won't make 3.0:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-144
We need an async assert. This means the fact is is asserted and
immediately returns. Internally there is a consumer/provider based queue
that one by one asserts the stacked items into the working memory. Need
ot make sure that users can handle async exceptions.
There might also be some settings to do with 2 phase commit, in that
when do we call fireAllRules? Do we call it after every assertion, after
a set time period, after X facts are asserted - or maybe a combination
of both? Initially probably esiest to just call fireAllRules on each
assertion from the Queue.
I recommend that thechannel code stuff be "borrowed" from
http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/LinkedQueue.html
- only take hte classes you need and refactor them for
org.drools.util.concurrent.
