Threading support?

[Daniela Rodríguez Careri]

Hi Rustam!

Are there any plans to implement message threading support (aka "conversation view")?

I analyzed about implementing it in a separate application that interfaces between EI and the clients but there are so many use cases to handle that it deemed it impractical to do it outside EI.

There are plans, but right now there are not enough resources to push this task forward.

This should be as simple as storing messages indexed by thread-id in the additional table (column family) in Cassandra, e.g.:

us...@elasticinbox.com {

    thread-id-1 : { message-uuid-1, ..., message-uuid-n },

    thread-id-2 : { ... },
    ...
}

Messages can be added to thread indexes as they arrive and you can retrieve list of conversations through new API endpoint. The main problem I see here is logic for grouping threads - it's not straightforward as one may think.
