  30. Jef Hello Lance
  31. Lance hi Jef
  32. Jef i have question, can a muc relay and IQ query to all the occupants in the room?
  33. Lance it can, but how it does so, and how it handles the results isn't specified
  34. Jef how about instead of the room itself, maybe a service does it
  35. Lance ?
  36. Kev Or, to put it another way, no it doesn't :)
  37. Jef it can't be done?
  38. Kev Not with standard MUC.
  39. Lance if you implemented your own muc component, and decided how to deal with all of the responses, sure
  40. Jef Lance, by component you mean service?
  41. Jef which can be discovered by disco
  42. Lance right, I mean the service providing the muc rooms
  43. Jef hmmm...
  44. Jef thanks i will check it out
  45. Lance but you would most likely be better off just sending the queries to the room occupants instead
  46. Jef if i have one query and 100 occupants it would be troublesome
  47. Jef more so, i don't know which occupants can handle the query
  48. Kev Well, that, at least, you should know.
  49. Jef if they join the attached muc service, i could know that
  50. Jef so i just send the query to the service
  51. Kev They'll have caps in their presence.
  52. Jef oh
  53. Jef i haven't considered that
  54. Kev It would break the iq model if you started getting multiple responses to a single query.
  55. Jef ha.... i see
  56. Jef so that's an absolute no
  57. Lance has left
  58. Lance has joined
  59. Jef still, i find that sending a new IQ for each and every occupant is rather inefficient
  60. Lance sounds like you need might need mep
  61. Jef mep?
  62. Lance http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/mep.html
  63. Kev PEP for MUCs.
  64. Jef looks it it could solve the problem, yes... but it is a proto xep
  65. Jef i have no other choice then, but wait until it is ready
  66. Lance Jef: how much control do you have in this setup? Are these arbitrary clients joining the muc, or ones that you control?
  67. Lance because you could make your muc service do the initial query and then do a message broadcast with the results
  68. Jef no, they are arbitrary
  69. Jef Lance, it is for the FIS
  70. Lance ooh
  71. Lance I see
  72. Jef i want to send a search query
  73. Lance and search across all room occupants
  74. Jef yes
  75. Lance ok, then MEP wouldn't help in that case
  76. Jef :S
  77. Lance so, you'd need to do this like how MAM works
  78. Lance send the iq to the muc, muc queries occupants, muc forwards results via message wrappers to the requester, muc sends result iq
  79. Jef Message Archive Management?
  80. Lance yes
  81. Lance the pattern of send iq, receive series of result message stanzas, receive single result iq
  82. Kev I think I missed what you're trying to do.
  83. Jef Kev, it is about searching files
  84. Kev Ah.
  85. Jef Lance, then the muc would have to wait for every occupant to send the results?
  86. Kev It would, yes.
  87. Lance to send the final iq, yes
  88. Jef not optimal, but i guess that's the best we can do
  89. Jef maybe send a timeout with the query
  90. Lance hrm
  91. Lance we can't really solve the waiting issue without caching/versioning/etc, but we can make this look a bit nicer and not have all of these response stanzas
  92. Lance by declaring that a muc room's FIS root directory contains a directory for each occupant
  93. Lance and then the room proxies any requests for data in those directories to those occupants
  94. Jef and what about with you want to search all across with a single keyword
  95. Jef and what about when* you want to search all across with a single keyword
  96. Lance it would look exactly like doing it with another user. in this case the muc service knows how to mux all of the search results together into a single result
  97. Lance RSM goes out the window though :/
  98. Jef result set?
  99. Lance right, how do you reliably limit/page results from a search across multiple sources?
  100. Lance its doable if the muc caches the directory tree and metadata for its occupants
  101. Jef how about every result have an attribute with the jid of the occupant
  102. Jef i don't understand well how RSM becomes difficult
  103. Lance well, idk. i'd have to think some more. it may work just fine

  106. Lance ok, chat based voting works with the new memberbot. It just needs to write output files like the old one
  107. Lance ponders how to integrate last message correction with voting
