I created a datastore manipulation service that can execute, using the task queue service, pieces of code found in 'plugins'. I have plugins for the initial sourcing and some others to create test and demo data.
I favor this approach over the bulk uploader as you need to also prepare for the task of upgrading the datamodel and source data of a live app. So, I deploy new app versions with new plugins and remove some from the app code when their job is done. A good usecase would be adding a field to all entities of a given type, with this field value determine from some other piece of related data. R.
