Add option to disable local MAM archive (#68)

Wojciech Kapcia (Tigase) opened 5 years ago

Currently, each message ends up in local user MAM archive. For a very busy channels this could lead to significant duplication of entries. One way of dealing with that would be an option in MIX component to disable local archiving of MIX messages (as described in https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0405.html#usecase-mam) resulting in user querying MIX MAM archive instead.

(this has some downsides as well: lack of history after leaving the channel and slower querying of MAM over s2s from remote servers)

@wojtek I do not get how you want to disable local archiving in users MAM by setting an option in a MIX component settings?

Feature mentioned in XEP-0405 urn:xmpp:mix:pam:2#archive is returned by users local server if it supports archiving MIX messages in MAM. Currently, as we decided to archive everything if not specified that it should not be archived, MIX message are always archived.

Do you want a flag in message-archiving processor to disable archiving of MIX messages in a user repository? (in MAM processor not in MIX component) Or something else?

@andrzej.wojcik yes, this.

I created the ticket in MIX project as it somewhat related to MIX
