You can have lists of unindexed strings, which would up your capacity, but sooner or later you're always going to run into one limit or another.
Another thing to consider would be to invert the relationship - if you have people "following" hundreds of thousands of IDs, but your actual user list is smaller than that, you could instead store records of the users being followed and keep a list of who is following them. Or keep the A-follows-B as individual records of another table - but if you've got big data you're always going to have to do planning about how best to store and manipulate it within finite limitations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
