/**
 * An Enum for Event Processing option.
 * 
 * drools.eventProcessingMode = <identity|equality>
 * 
 * When the rulebase is compiled in the CLOUD (default) event processing mode,
 * it behaves just like a regular rulebase.
 * 
 * When the rulebase is compiled in the STREAM event processing mode, additional
 * assumptions are made. These assumptions allow the engine to perform a few optimisations
 * like:
 * 
 *  reasoning over absence of events (NOT CE), automatically adds an appropriate duration attribute
 * to the rule in order to avoid early rule firing. 
 *  memory management techniques may be employed when an event no longer can match other events
 * due to session clock continuous increment.
