(If your application uses High Replication datastore, you can ignore this email)
Attention App Engine users! We have an urgent scheduled maintenance period coming up *this* Thursday, 2011 Jul 14th. We apologize for the shorter-than-usual notice and will work hard to make sure that more lead-time is given for future downtime periods. The maintenance period will last approximately one hour starting exactly at this time: Thursday, 2011 Jul 14, 5:00pm/1700 PDT/GMT-7 (Friday, 2011 Jul 15, midnight/0000/GMT) Note that this downtime does *not* affect High Replication datastore users as far as service goes, but neither Master/Slave nor HR datastore apps will be able to deploy during this period. Below is the standard information we usually send out with these notifications. Check it out for more information about read-only periods or how to be notified of production events. -------------------------------------------------- The Master/Slave datastore will be placed into read-only mode and memcache will be flushed. It is recommended that critical portions of your application that depend on the datastore should make use of the capabilities API to detect and recover gracefully during read-only periods. Documentation describing the capabilities API can be found here: - Python: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/howto/maintenance.html - Java: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/howto/maintenance.html There will be no downtime for developers whose applications use High Replication datastore.
