One of those days I might end up being busy in the evening due to it being the final week for a member of our project team and we're going out for a dinner. Not sure which day it's going to be though.

As outlined in the proposition; Heshan is trying for a DB style architecture with an AST and "query" planner with a subsequent optimisation step, all for the purpose of limiting the number of rules that need to be run and the amount of data to be fetched from the underlying store.

I have little to add at this point beyond that I think it looks like a solid plan. I haven’t quite gotten my head around how it will handle incremental updates (and, more challenging, deletions), but I assume you’ve given it thought. The main difficulty will probably be how to correctly deal with isolation and concurrency-related issues. The compliance tests should help pinpoint that part of it. Anyway, I’m probably getting ahead of myself here.
