I can confirm that the email from the downtime-notify group was indeed routed to my Gmail spam folder. It includes a red-overlay message: "Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information". There is also a link to "Learn more" which points to http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=8253.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Upcoming maintenance notification
Thanks for the feedback, guys. We figured out what was causing this. Upcoming notifications on that list will come from my email address temporarily until we resolve this.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Upcoming maintenance notification
Hi It would be nice if AppEngine would post a message to our apps before it enters maintenance mode and again when it resumes to normal operation mode. This would allow us to disable features that require writing to the datastore. I realize we can catch the capability exceptions but that means we need to try to write first, which is not good enough IMO.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Upcoming maintenance notification
But what would you do with the notification? You can't put it in memcache (memcache is usually disabled too) and, trying to put it in the datastore (provided you can do it before it actully goes read-only), will probably be no more efficient than trying a real write anyway. But that does lead to possibly a quick way to test, try a Memcache set. *"**will instead return False for set() calls . In addition, memcache API calls will return immediately during this period, without any additional latency."* 2010/7/6 Viðar Svansson > Hi > > It would be nice if AppEngine would post a message to our apps before > it enters maintenance mode and again when it resumes to normal > operation mode.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Upcoming maintenance notification
The notification would be sent before it enters read-only state so there is time to save data as you assumed. We could write the capability state to a three layered cache (memory, memcache, and datastore). But like you said, there are other ways to check this during a r-o mode and a quick memcache put might be the best way. I haven't research what is the optimal approach here. Regardless, that does not help us if we need to perform some work before entering r-o mode. Let's say that the notification is sent one hour in advance. Then we might want to: * Prioritize critical background processing work so it completes before the deadline. * Disable non-essential work to minimize overall workload when the app enters r-o mode. * Notify our users that our app will soon enter a r-o state and that features will be disabled. * Notify developers that missed the email for some reason (gmail marked it as spam, etc). * If the app is a service, notify other apps that it is to go offline. Of course, it would also help if the notification included an estimation of the downtime. Given the frequent downtimes, it is essential that there is a way to handle them more gracefully than the current approach allows. At least if we want to build non-toy apps. - Viðar On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 12:20 PM, Barry Hunter wrote: > But what would you do with the notification? > You can't put it in memcache (memcache is usually disabled too) and, trying > to put it in the datastore (provided you can do it before it actully goes > read-only), will probably be no more efficient than trying a real write > anyway. > But that does lead to possibly a quick way to test, try a Memcache set. > "will instead return False for set() calls .
