Question:
Can PROTON CEP deal with such a case (or is it impossible?) where it's required to dynamically add/edit/delete rules made by hundreds of users while the CEP is running?

Description:
We are currently investigating the IBM PROTON CEP for use in our system. But reading the documentation and trying it out we've come to the conclusion that the only way to program it is via one big JSON file.

In our case we have several hundreds of users editing their rules at the same time. Which means we have to make multiple edits to the JSON file per second and eventually end up with a really really big JSON file. How does PROTON deal with such a case or is it impossible to dynamically add/edit/delete rules made by hundreds of users while the CEP is running?

Is there any other way of programming the engine, does it support any database backing for the storage of rules that makes it possible to work with just a single rule instead of editing the whole file?

Thanks in advance.
