Default should not be false. turning back on an index is much much harder than turning it off. If you turn it back on you have to rewrite all your entities, with the potential for not retrieving some data when executing a query if you don't. That's bad.
Having said that Google needs to be much more transparent about indexes and writes in general. There's still no indication on the datastore stats page about the size of your indexes. There's also no way to know how much your writes are costing you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
