MattJ, the metdata last stanza-id, not sure how much it helps us

it cannot used in any query except the one where you request a single message

because all the filters are excluding the ids

the timestamps are probably more useful in practice ✏

i hoped we could create a query that says, give me everything from stanza-id X until the most current one in the archive at point of time when i send the query

but this would need a inclusive range filter condition

hmm i can, if i use the timestamp from the metadata .. instead of the stanza-id because timestamp filters are inclusive

Timestamps are almost always wrong to use for sync

E.g. if you fetch the metadata and someone sends a message in the same second, you'll not fetch it

hm .. i dont think they are as bad as you make them

if i make a timestamp query, im guaranteed to get all messages hat are equal to this timestamp

i dont think there is a race condition which would make this not true

Mmm, right. That'll be why I did that then 🙂

its a bit late now, but a filter query where the stanza ids are range inclusive, would be nice ✏
