CMIS doesn't know what a discussion is. You're going to have to make a call to your own web script to do this.

One way to see how Alfresco structures discussions around a specific document is to go into the old Explorer client (http://localhost:8080/alfresco) and start a discussion on a document, then use the node browser to go look at the children of that document. You'll see the objects that got created, their types, etc.

I would use a web script that accepts an object ID (not a CMIS object ID but the Alfresco object ID–these could be different) and then starts a discussion by creating the initial object instances.

Note that you'll have to use further web scripts to perform crud functions on the discussion thread. CMIS won't be able to work with those objects.
