/* Here's the current schema for our database (for NOTMUCH_DATABASE_VERSION):
 *
 * We currently have two different types of documents (mail and
 * directory) and also some metadata.
 *
 * Mail document
 * -------------
 * A mail document is associated with a particular email message file
 * on disk. It is indexed with the following prefixed terms which the
 * database uses to construct threads, etc.:
 *
 *    Single terms of given prefix:
 *
 *	type:	mail
 *
 *	id:	Unique ID of mail. This is from the Message-ID header
 *		if present and not too long (see NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_ID_MAX).
 *		If it's present and too long, then we use
 *		"notmuch-sha1-<sha1_sum_of_message_id>".
 *              If this header is not present, we use
 *		"notmuch-sha1-<sha1_sum_of_entire_file>".
 *
 *	thread:	The ID of the thread to which the mail belongs
 *
 *	replyto: The ID from the In-Reply-To header of the mail (if any).
 *
 *    Multiple terms of given prefix:
 *
 *	reference: All message IDs from In-Reply-To and References
 *		   headers in the message.
 *
 *	tag:	   Any tags associated with this message by the user.
 *
 *	file-direntry:  A colon-separated pair of values
 *		        (INTEGER:STRING), where INTEGER is the
 *		        document ID of a directory document, and
 *		        STRING is the name of a file within that
 *		        directory for this mail message.
 *
 *    A mail document also has four values:
 *
 *	TIMESTAMP:	The time_t value corresponding to the message's
 *			Date header.
 *
 *	MESSAGE_ID:	The unique ID of the mail mess (see "id" above)
 *
 *	FROM:		The value of the "From" header
 *
 *	SUBJECT:	The value of the "Subject" header
 *
 * In addition, terms from the content of the message are added with
 * "from", "to", "attachment", and "subject" prefixes for use by the
 * user in searching. Similarly, terms from the path of the mail
 * message are added with a "folder" prefix. But the database doesn't
 * really care itself about any of these.
 *
 * The data portion of a mail document is empty.
 *
 * Directory document
 * ------------------
 * A directory document is used by a client of the notmuch library to
 * maintain data necessary to allow for efficient polling of mail
 * directories.
 *
 * All directory documents contain one term:
 *
 *	directory:	The directory path (relative to the database path)
 *			Or the SHA1 sum of the directory path (if the
 *			path itself is too long to fit in a Xapian
 *			term).
 *
 * And all directory documents for directories other than top-level
 * directories also contain the following term:
 *
 *	directory-direntry: A colon-separated pair of values
 *		            (INTEGER:STRING), where INTEGER is the
 *		            document ID of the parent directory
 *		            document, and STRING is the name of this
 *		            directory within that parent.
 *
 * All directory documents have a single value:
 *
 *	TIMESTAMP:	The mtime of the directory (at last scan)
 *
 * The data portion of a directory document contains the path of the
 * directory (relative to the database path).
 *
 * Database metadata
 * -----------------
 * Xapian allows us to store arbitrary name-value pairs as
 * "metadata". We currently use the following metadata names with the
 * given meanings:
 *
 *	version		The database schema version, (which is distinct
 *			from both the notmuch package version (see
 *			notmuch --version) and the libnotmuch library
 *			version. The version is stored as an base-10
 *			ASCII integer. The initial database version
 *			was 1, (though a schema existed before that
 *			were no "version" database value existed at
 *			all). Successive versions are allocated as
 *			changes are made to the database (such as by
 *			indexing new fields).
 *
 *	last_thread_id	The last thread ID generated. This is stored
 *			as a 16-byte hexadecimal ASCII representation
 *			of a 64-bit unsigned integer. The first ID
 *			generated is 1 and the value will be
 *			incremented for each thread ID.
 *
 *	thread_id_*	A pre-allocated thread ID for a particular
 *			message. This is actually an arbitrarily large
 *			family of metadata name. Any particular name is
 *			formed by concatenating "thread_id_" with a message
 *			ID (or the SHA1 sum of a message ID if it is very
 *			long---see description of 'id' in the mail
 *			document). The value stored is a thread ID.
 *
 *			These thread ID metadata values are stored
 *			whenever a message references a parent message
 *			that does not yet exist in the database. A
 *			thread ID will be allocated and stored, and if
 *			the message is later added, the stored thread
 *			ID will be used (and the metadata value will
 *			be cleared).
 *
 *			Even before a message is added, it's
 *			pre-allocated thread ID is useful so that all
 *			descendant messages that reference this common
 *			parent can be recognized as belonging to the
 *			same thread.
 */

/* With these prefix values we follow the conventions published here:
 *
 * http://xapian.org/docs/omega/termprefixes.html
 *
 * as much as makes sense. Note that I took some liberty in matching
 * the reserved prefix values to notmuch concepts, (for example, 'G'
 * is documented as "newsGroup (or similar entity - e.g. a web forum
 * name)", for which I think the thread is the closest analogue in
 * notmuch. This in spite of the fact that we will eventually be
 * storing mailing-list messages where 'G' for "mailing list name"
 * might be even a closer analogue. I'm treating the single-character
 * prefixes preferentially for core notmuch concepts (which will be
 * nearly universal to all mail messages).

 *
 * Finally, we look in the database for existing message that

 * In all cases, we assign to the current message the first thread_id
 * found (through either parent or child). We will also merge any
 * existing, distinct threads where this message belongs to both,
 * (which is not uncommon when messages are processed out of order).
 *
 * Finally, if no thread ID has been found through parent or child, we
 * call _notmuch_message_generate_thread_id to generate a new thread
 * ID. This should only happen for new, top-level messages, (no
 * References or In-Reply-To header in this message, and no previously
