4. Build Room & Users members table

For performance reasons, before going live, the system needs to run a process of pre-populating room members as well as list of all users.
Room refers to both Space and Direct messaging. This is needed in order to effectively know for each activity done by a user - who are the related user in the room.

After cache is built, any room member updates are maintained continuously.

This process length depends on number of rooms and can take several hour or more. It is performed by AGAT at this point.
