As you suggested, I started to investigate the backward rules.  Here is some experimental code I did

...

I.could successfully add a backward rule. Thanks for the suggestion. When adding triple (a C1 t) as below

infgraph.performAdd(Triple.create(a, C1, t));

I could see:  a @C2 t.  printed.     <--- backward rule triggered.

Regarding backward rule, I have a few questions:
1. It seems the backward rule does not support builtin primitives, such as print()?  I did not see C2Print print anything.

Correct. A backward rule, by definition, is only invoked when a query matches the consequent of the rule. If a rule doesn't infer any triples then it'll never (need to be) invoked.

You should be able to use a primitive in the body of the rule even if it's just a side-effecting primitive like print. So something like (not tested):

  (?a MYDeduction ?c) <- (?a MYPremise ?c), print('I was run') .

2. I created a forward rule (C2ForwardPrint) at the very beginning.  If I add triple as below

infgraph.performAdd(Triple.create(a, C2, t));

'check check forward'  will be printed

However, if I add above (a C1 t) triple, nothing happens. I assume (a C1 t)  generats (a C2 t) from backward rule C1, then recursively calls the C2ForwardPrint rule to print something?

No. The hybrid reasoner is just feed-forward. The forward rules run over the data, make deductions and can generate additional backward rules.

When you ask a query of the model then the original data, the extra forward deductions plus the backward rules are used to answer it. The backward rules are only used on demand and they don't materialize any new deduction triples.

Summary: the forward rules don't "see" the results of any backward rules.

Is there anything wrong?

Well seems like it's working as expected. Whether that's what you need might be a different question :)

    Hi,

    Very mysterious. If I check the github repository as tagged for 4.2.0 I
    can't see an addRule method in BasicForwardRuleInfGraph. Clearly I'm
    missing something.

    You can add rules to a reasoner but you would then have to rebuild the
    InfGraph/InfModel.

    Like I say, you can add backward rules to a running hybrid engine, if
    that's any use but I don't believe there's any support for dynamically
    adding forward rules.
