Actually I just migrated my statistics job from MapReduce to BigQuery (using the Datastore -> Cloud Storage -> BigQuery pattern) =)
I strongly recommend the book "Google BigQuery Analytics" from Jordan Tigani and Siddartha Naidu if you plan to use or know more about BigQuery. I got mine at I/O this year (the last book in the box) =) BigQuery is awesome but have its quirks - the append-only tables is just one of them. You have to shape your business logic to handle that before starting to heavily use it. If you don't need statistics, you probably don't need BigQuery. The sad part is that I spent more than 2 months tweaking and improving my whole pipeline stack trying to get a better performance (or cost-effectiveness), when I could just be using BigQuery to solve my problems. Anyway, it was a good lesson. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
