Property reactive modifications in a rete network

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions for a Rete rule engine that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• modifying, by the processing device executing the Rete rule engine, a particular property of an object;
• associating, by the processing device, a first data structure with the object, the first data structure indicating that the particular property of the object has been modified;
• determining, by the processing device, whether the particular property is a constraint relevant to a node of a Rete network based on comparing the first data structure to a second data structure associated with the node, wherein the second data structure identifies one or more modifiable properties that are constraints relevant to the node;
• evaluation the object with the node responsive to determining that the particular property is a constraint relevant to the node;
• and
• determining not to evaluate the object with the node responsive to determining that the particular property is not a constraint relevant to the node.

A computing device comprising:

• a memory having instructions for a Rete rule engine;
• and
• a processing device, coupled to the memory, to execute the Rete rule engine, the processing device further to:
• modify a particular property of an object that has traversed a Rete network;
• associate a first data structure with the object, the first data structure indicating that the particular property of the object has been modified;
• determine whether the particular property is a constraint relevant to a node of the Rete network based on comparing the first data structure to a second data structure associated with the node, wherein the second data structure identifies one or more modifiable properties that are constraints relevant to the node;
• evaluate the object with the node responsive to determining that the particular property is a constraint relevant to the node;
• and
• determine not to evaluate the object with the node responsive to determining that the particular property is not a constraint relevant to the node.
