[drools-dev] AgendaGroups and named Threads

[Mark Proctor]

In drools there is no longer a single agenda, there are AgendaGroups 
with MAIN acting  as  the default. I've  been thinking that it might be 
useful to have named Threads  too - so you  can specify a thread for the 
AgendaGroup to execute in. This would allow an AgendaGroup  to execute 
its rules in parallel with other, and thus the MAIN, thread - however 
fact assert, retract and modify will remain a single thread for  now - 
so there could  be race conditions between different threads fighting  
for the next working  memory action. But this can still be useful, I 
think, especially for cases where you have rules with no side  effects.
