Re: [google-appengine] Simple Equality Queries Fail

[Robert Kluin]

Grant,
  Not including the field in your index.yaml does not prevent the
default single-property, it is only used to define custom
(multi-property) indexes.

  It sounds like you might be experiencing something like:
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2481

  Is it possible for you to simply loop over all your entities and re-put them?

Re: [google-appengine] Deleting entities in bulk.

[Jawaad Mahmood]

I had to deal with the same issue myself.

I did this:

class DeleteFull():
def execute(self):
deleting = model_class_name.all().order('__key__').fetch(100)
while deleting:
a = []
key = deleting[-1].key()
for item in deleting:
a.append(item)
db.delete(a)
deleting = model_class_name.all().filter('__key__ >',
key).order('__key__').fetch(100)

This purged everything, but it took a hell of a long time.

[google-appengine] Deleting entities in bulk.

[Patrick Twohig]

Recently, I have refactored my code such that I no longer need entities of a
particular kind.  I was curious how I would go about writing a task to
delete these entities in bulk.  I have set up a task that performs a query
specifying only the kind, and then using a cursor to delete the entities on
the task queue.  However, when I run the task it seems to complete
prematurely rather than delete all entities.

Here's the process I use:


   - I perform a query for all entities of a particular kind.  For instance
   "SELECT * FROM SomeKind" or new Query("SomeKind") in Java.
   - I delete as many entities as I can using the results of the query until
   I hit a soft deadline.  I set that up myself to be 10 seconds, or so.
   - If there are more results left, I generate a cursor and pick up again
   and re-queue the task to execute again.
   - If there are no results left, I just leave finish the task logging the
   result.

The problem is, the task seems to finish prematurely and it appears to
either delete only a few hundred entities, or it simply skips a few here and
there.  Running it in the debugger, it all seems to work well, but on the
AppEngine it doesn't seem to work quite as well.  Any thoughts or
suggestions?

Thanks,
Patrick.

[google-appengine] Dashboard current load counters being reset

[Chris Killpack]

On 3 separate occasions in the last 3 weeks, including today and 4/29, the
current load counters for my app's handlers have been reset during the 24
hour window. This is annoying, as I rely on these counters to measure server
traffic over days*. AFAICT the reset doesn't happen more than once in a 24hr
window.

Is this expected behavior, and is anyone else seeing this?

[google-appengine] Re: Any restriction on selling site on app engine?

[johnterran]

Hi Ikai,

I have read the Terms of Service but still isn't clear to me.

6.1. You acknowledge and agree that Google (or Google's licensors) own
all legal right, title and interest in and to the Service, including
any intellectual property rights which subsist in the Service (whether
those rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever in the world
those rights may exist).

7.3. Unless Google has given you specific written permission to do so
(e.g., through an open source software license), you may not assign
(or grant a sub-license of) your rights to use the Google App Engine
Software, grant a security interest in or over your rights to use the
Google App Engine Software, or otherwise transfer any part of your
rights to use the Software.

8.1. Google claims no ownership or control over any Content or
Application

6.1 and 7.3 sounds like I don't own the app, or need permission, but
8.1 says Google claims no ownership of the app.
Can we sell the app on GAE w/o Google permission?

Thanks
John

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Compare tipfy and kay-framework?

[Takashi MATSUO]

Hi Matt,

Sorry for a late reply.

Thank you for having interest in Kay and tipfy.
As everyone said in another thread, they are both nice i think.

As moraes said, with Kay, you can basically define your views as
functions, but you can also use a class based view which is very
similar to webapp's one.

A big change for the next new release is CRUDViewGroup feature which
allows you to build CRUD+list functionality with a few lines of code.
The next release (0.10.0) will be released soon, someday in this May.

In case you haven't notice, let me introduce Kay's discussion group
and irc channel to you.

discussion group:
http://groups.google.com/group/kay-users/

irc channel:
irc://irc.freenode.net/#kay-users

Please join the discussion group or the irc channel if you like :-)

[google-appengine] Re: error code 203

[Peter Warren]

Also, two sidenotes: 1) app engine doesn't complain when I put the
object into the HashMap, only when I try to retrieve it. 2) My
application works perfectly when I run it locally in the Eclipse
Plugin environment.

[google-appengine] error code 203

[Peter Warren]

I'm getting the following warning message consistently in my app
engine logs for a particular request:
---
A serious problem was encountered with the process that handled this
request, causing it to exit. This is likely to cause a new process to
be used for the next request to your application. If you see this
message frequently, you should contact the App Engine team. (Error
code 203)
---

1) It seems to be related to the size of an object being stored in a
HashMap.  I wasn't aware of any limits on object sizes for objects
stored in app-instance memory.  Are there limits?  (The object I'm
storing is basically a Java representation of an xml data file that is
about 600k.)

2) This error suggests that I contact the app engine team.  How do I
do that?

Thanks,
Peter

You will have to re-put every entity that is not indexed.

Hmm, in python code an '==' works, but for GQL only '=' works for me.

Actually, I've just noticed something rather odd. In the model
specification, the property I'm interested in is a 'string property',
like I said. When I look at the 'data-store statistics' section,
however, the bulk of my data is in 'text' format, which I'm aware
isn't query-able. How could that happen?

[google-appengine] Java test if running on eclipse or deployed

[Marc Hacker]

Can anyone suggest an easy way to test within Java whether running on
the eclipse dev environment or deployed?

Something the code has to do certain things differently in development
than when deployed to Google

Thoughts?

Thanks

[google-appengine] Simple Equality Queries Fail

[Grant]

I've got a large number of records with just a few fields. The field
I'm interested in is called wordStr, and is a non multi-line string
property. When I do a simple query like:

SELECT * from wordEntry WHERE wordStr = 'SomeString'

I get 'no results'.

The index in question is 'Serving', and I even went so far as to
delete it and then rebuild it.

If I manually view one of the records, and click 'save' without
changing anything, it becomes query-able.

Other fields in these records work as expected.

Anyone had similar problems/know what could be happening?

[google-appengine] Indexes deleting for the last 4 months

[Harlan Crystal]

Hello!

Two datastore indexes for my application (danielmterrytest1) have been
"deleting" since January --- over four months ago.  At some point I
got assistance that put them into the error state and then they
reverted back to the deleting state again.

Can I please have some assistance fixing this?

thanks,
-harlan

[google-appengine] Re: Pagination

[kamathln]

I realized one thing..

q=Somemodel.all()
q.filter(some cursor compatible filters)  # if needed

 # anything here but dont set cursor on the query
q.keys_only=True
temp=q.fetch(1,999)
q.with_cursor(q.cursor)
item=q.fetch(1,999)


Will get you 2000th element.
Using this technique(as long as number of elements per page is a
factor of 1000), you can calculate pagination using normal offsets,
but if it crosses 1000 you split the offsets into 1000s place  and the
rest (using integer division and modulo by 1000) . You jump towards
the nth 1000 using the above technique .. then make a final finetuning
fetch .. example will clearly demo what I say:

suppose you want the 226th page with 20 elements per page

##
page=226
itemsperpage=20

q=SomeModel.all()
q.filters(some cursor compatible filters)

 # anything here but dont set cursor manually on the query
q.keys_only=True

offset=page*itemsperpage   # in this case 4520

new_offset=offset % 1000
for i in xrange(0,offset/1000):
  q.fetch(1,999) ## we dont assign it because we want to discard
item_keys=q.fetch(itemsperpage,new_offset)

items=db.get(item_keys)
##

With some smart use of memcache, not so many jumps would be needed
either.
(If someone comes  up with a good paginator function or class *with
memcaching*, please post :) )

Pros of this method:
   *   You can use numbers directly in the urls instead of cursors and
the like :) This makes generating pagination links (First Prev , 1,
2,3 ... 350 Next Last) a breeze while still being able to go beyond
1000 offset limit.
   *   You can use this method with almost any cursor friendly query
   *   Cursors come into picture only if you have more than 1000
items.

Cons of this method
   *  Items per page are limited to factors of 1000 (must be
validated!)
   *  If users often access items beyond 5000 items, it can still have
an impact on performance

No worries. It seems like nothing we ever do to the FAQs stops people from
double posting, asking for moderation, etc. Fortunately, I don't think it's
been a huge issue for these groups, and the benefits far outweigh the costs
(SPAM).

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Why are both ascending and descending indexes required ?

[Ikai L (Google)]

The documentation doesn't explicitly state it (and I can't seem to find it
in these Bigtable docs either:
http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable-osdi06.pdf), but the underlying
storage engine only lets you retrieve keys in ascending key order, though
you can specify a "less than key" filter to stop retrieving keys. On an
extremely large dataset, you'd have to retrieve all the indexes you wanted,
then start backwards. This is why the reverse index exists.

[google-appengine] Re: Why are both ascending and descending indexes required ?

[leo]

Thanks Ikai.

I´ve read the links you mentioned but I haven´t found any specific
"direction" issue which prevents using indexes bottom up. According to
the documentation Bigtable root tablet contains indexes to the tablets
(a tablet is a range of consecutive entries), so all ranges are known
and apparently you could start from the bottom up if you want to.

The only thing should be that the datastore result [...lots of stuff,
a,b] should be reversed to get  [b, a, ...lots of stuff] before
sending back to the client (i.e. GAE app). For instance this could be
done when building the protocol buffer sent back to the client.

If only one index was needeed  for ascending and descending order,
about half index storage space could be saved !

Regards,
Leo

Re: [google-appengine] Any restriction on selling site on app engine?

[Ikai L (Google)]

You'll want to read our terms of service:

http://code.google.com/appengine/terms.html

To transfer the site, click on
"Permissions" and add the other users as developers. They can then remove
you.

[google-appengine] Any restriction on selling site on app engine?

[johnterran]

Hi,
If I build a site on google app engine, and if it becomes successful
and I want to sell it, how can you transfer the site administration to
the new company that is tied to your username?

Any google restrictions that we need to worry about?

Thanks
John

Re: [google-appengine] Index in a Queued mode for almost a hour

[Ikai L (Google)]

Your indexes look fine to me. Did you build a new index from scratch? Those
are built using background MapReduces and the time to process depends on
capacity. There's some more information about this here:

Hi!

I am a new group member. I'm currently playing around with the java API and
I'm planning on writing something portal'ish on the app engine.

Is someone here with admin rights on the appengine-java mailinglist or knows
the admin?
I'm stuck in the moderated status for new members for more than a week now
and I really would like to participate...
