Hi Gwyn, It basically adds a small delay before a transaction applies, but with facilities to grab consistent snapshots of entity groups when needed. If you're not seeing any difference, then you're app is probably doing ancestor queries or gets by key -- which is good.
You can check out the code: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/source/browse/trunk/python/google/appengine/datastore/datastore_stub_util.py#1310 Here is some code to demonstrate what the option does: import uuid import logging class T(db.Model): index = db.StringProperty() for _ in xrange(100): index = str(uuid.uuid4()) T(key_name=index, index=index).put() # put a time.sleep(xx) here to see how it works. # This will usually not work on prod HR datastore. t = T.all().filter('index', index).get() if not t: logging.info('NoTing for you.') # This should always work. t_by_key = T.get_by_key_name(index) if not t_by_key: logging.error('You should never see this') Robert On Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 07:01, Gwyn Howell <gwyn.how...@appogee.co.uk> wrote: > In version Version 1.5.1 just released, one of the updates was: > The development server's datastore implementation now contains logic that > closely replicates the consistency guarantees of the High Replication > datastore.
