Collapse similar newsfeed entries

[relrod]

This is probably way down the road (and we may be able to do something in Datagrepper itself to make this easier somehow? Maybe @ralphbean has some ideas? :P), but it would be nice if we could collapse similar entries.

Something like...

Instead of:

| Some newsfeed story here
| Another here
| codeblock did X on the el6 branch
| codeblock did X on the fedora18 branch
| codeblock did X on the fedora19 branch
| codeblock did X on the fedora20 branch
| X was tagged into trashcan by oscar
| X was tagged into trashcan by oscar
| X was tagged into trashcan by oscar
| X was tagged into trashcan by oscar

Have:

| Some newsfeed story here
| Another here
| codeblock did 4 things to X. Tap to expand.
| oscar tagged 5 things into trashcan. Tap to expand.

I think this would make the newsfeed easier to comprehend and more useful.

Maybe we could somehow offer an endpoint in datagrepper where similar stories are sent as a list object or something? I'm not sure how intelligent we could have to make it. i.e., what constitutes a "similar story"?

@ralphbean is this worth filing a bug on in the datagrepper repo? Or something I should just try to do in Mobile at some point way down the road on my own?

Good idea.

Yeah, let's do it in datagrepper. We have /raw, /id.. maybe we add a /summary?
