Discussion on Conversational Memory components

[sjrl]

This is the discussion board for a group of experimental components introduced as a solution to implement chat history management for chat with RAG-like use-cases.

This is version 2 of the feature that was previously announced here. We incorporated feedback from that discussion in addition to our own internal feedback to bring new versions of these components.

• ChatMessageWriter
• ChatMessageRetriever
• InMemoryChatMessageStore

Let us know how you get along with these components, and please do let us know if you have any feedback.

Note: Experimental features live in this repository for a fixed period of time. We don't guarantee that we will continue maintaining experimental features. But if they are successful, stable and if you like it, we will move the feature to the core Haystack package.

PS: The contributors for these experimental components are @vblagoje and @sjrl 🚀
