@Stack:

Hope this makes it more clear:

messagesMetaData(CF): {
  mailboxId/uid: {
    uid: 1,
    mailboxId: 184e-ske1-igk2-gj71
    flags.recent: true,
    flags.deleted: true,
    flags.seen: true,
    flags.deleted: false,
    flags.seen: false,
    flags.flagged: true,
    bodyOctets: 19484
    fullContentOctets: 10304
    properties: namespace::localname::value;;namespace2::localname2::value2
    headers: byte[],
    mediaType: text,
    subType: plain,
   textualLineCount: 24
  }
}

messagesContent(CF): {
  mailboxId/uid: {
    1: byte[],
    2: byte[],
    3: byte[]
  }
}

Then I have secondary indexes on the messagesMetaData CF to be able to get all messages which belongs to mailbox X and have the deleted flag set etc.

I used RP and used the secondary indexes for "filter" the right messages.

Does it explain it a bit more ?

> Context: The mailbox subproject (http://james.apache.org/mailbox/) supports maildir, SQL database (via JPA) and Java Content Repository (JCR) as technology for mail storage. This flexibility is achieved thanks to a API design that abstracts mail storage from the mail protocols.
> Task: We need to implement mailbox storage as a distributed system on top of Hadoop HDFS. The James mailbox API will be used. A first step is to design how to interact with Hadoop (native api, gora incubator at apache,...) and deal with specific performance questions related to mail loading/parsing in a distributed system (use map/reduce or not, use existing local lucene indexes for search,...). The second step is to implement the HDFS mailbox (maildir mailbox is similar because is stores mails as a file and can be an inspiration). A single James server will still be deployed because we don't have any distributed UID generation.
