Mark all conversations as read

[grvn-ht]

I would like to mark all messages as read (otherwise when people get to their new account they will push button "mark all as read" and it makes synapse server very slow, lots of timeout ... then it is unusable for some time
What happens is that synapse /receipt endpoint get flooded by requests and can't process all requests at same time,
Solutions for this could be to implement general synapse workers for this endpoint:
https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/workers.html#available-worker-applications
But we would need to implement a reverse proxy in front of synapse to redirect specific requests to the worker.

Anyway I don't think it's a good solution, because it would only be used a few days, until all users get all conversations as read.

Other solution is to mark messages as read when we publish them in synapse.
When Room is full, we need to do a request for each user of the room with last event like:
curl --request POST
--url https://HOMESERVER_NAME/_matrix/client/v3/rooms/ROOM_ID/receipt/m.read/LAST_EVENT_ID
--header 'Authorization: Bearer USER_TOKEN'
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
--data '{"thread_id": "main"}'

#14
I don't handle thread and user that do migration for now

Have a look if the current main branch fulfils your needs, and if so, we can close [this]

Hi @HerHde,
Thanks for re-working the code :)
but if i understand correctly you don't handle read last message from all threads
you can find my solution here on src/handlers/markAllAsRead.ts
https://github.com/grvn-ht/rocketchat2matrix/tree/migration
but to do this i need to re-parse messages file
do you think of another option without it?

[HerHde]

I need to write some test data for it and see, if I can find a solution for threads (if they are not marked as read). Your branch migration contains a lot of unrelated changes, so I need time to look into it.

And I think there must be a way to request the unread threads from Synapse.

[grvn-ht]

Yes it was a branch where i did lots of test,
this one have less changes, more clear

[HerHde]

Well, I found an API endpoint which provides all threads in a room, so I'll rather focus on that. Thank you anyhow and sorry I can't make anything of your latest contribution, so far.

[HerHde]

I have basically tested all the necessary API endpoints, but just to ask before implementing something:

With the current version of the script, how does it look (for example in Element with a screenshot) if you have unread threads? My test data doesn't show any unread messages with the latest code change.

Again the question to everyone: Does this problem still persist?
