Users need to search all calls originated from/to a user or from/to a specific mobile phone to answer/analyze customers' probl... ok, I give up: I work for the NSA ;)

1) I haven't achieved what I need: realtime indexing. I can't query the "current 15 minutes" table efficiently. Plus, K*log(N) is not that great when you have a lot of K.
2) I'm not suggesting that this is top priority. I'm asking if there's something else, other than "we don't have time for this", that I don't know. In fact, I don't even know if those indexes types would really help in my (specific) case. That's why my original question was "why aren't there developments in this area": I didn't mean to imply someone should do it. I just wanted to know if those indexes were already discussed (and maybe dismissed for some reason) in the past...
