Luwak (stored query engine, allowing users to efficiently match a stream of 
documents against a large set of queries) seems to be the right candidate for 
my requirement.

Thanks for pointing out this to me. I will dig more about this.

Thanks,
Kart

I might be wrong but that smells like luwac (available in 8.2.0) 

check out: 

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8766

it should allow you to index the rules and then use the document as a query to 
retrieve the rules that match with your document.

If you want to match the document only if at least one condition is matched you 
can just encode the conditions of a rule in OR and it might work..

please note I'm not sure about this (I never used luwac :)) maybe somebody in 
the list can comment more :)

cheers
Diego

Hello, Kart.
I still don't fully get the problem. But usually implementing Rule Engine 
requires to use 
https://lucene.apache.org/core/7_3_1/sandbox/org/apache/lucene/search/CoveringQuery.html
which
check number of rule clauses in a dedicated field.
