2011-07-15 Thread Wesley C (Google)
From 9-11pm PDT/GMT-7, a set of Java applications experienced higher

conducting an investigation and will follow up with more details
shortly.

[appengine-java] URGENT: Upcoming scheduled maintenance: 2011 Jul 14

2011-07-11 Thread Wesley C (Google)
(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//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. You can read more about High Replication here:
http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2011/01/announcing-high-replication-datastore.html

Developers can subscribe to the scheduled maintenance calendar using
the following link:
https://www.google.com/calendar/b/0/embed?src=4chlpo92ci2f54c2u21shbj...@group.calendar.google.com

Developers can add/view the scheduled maintenance calendar using this
address (look for the + in the corner to subscribe to this
calendar):
4chlpo92ci2f54c2u21shbj...@group.calendar.google.com

Keep an eye out on this thread for more announcements regarding the
downtime period.

Best regards,
-- The Google App Engine team

[appengine-java] Re: 500 Internal Server Error:Unable to update app: Error posting to URL: https://appengine.google.com/api/appversion/clonefiles?

2010-12-18 Thread Wesley C (Google)
we are continually working on improving the overall reliability, but
on some occasions, the system will experience higher than normal
latencies within the underlying infrastructure, which may manifest
itself to users in the form of upload issues, timeouts
(DeadlineExceeded), or other server 500 errors.

for this particular situation this Saturday morning Dec 17, the
problems seem to have began around 8a PST but have all been resolve by
10a. your performance should have returned back to normal levels. we
apologize for the convenience you experienced during this time.

if you encounter a similar situation, pls post to the forums or create
a production ticket(*) as you have been doing, esp. with any error
screen captures, and your app ID, so that those of us who help monitor
the system can contact the oncall team -- chances are, the team is
already aware of the problem and are working to resolve it as quickly
as possible -- we want to be down as much as you do... which is not
at all.

(*) -- to create a production ticket, go to:
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/entry
and select Production issue from the Template pull down and give
as much info as possible.

best regards,

Re: [appengine-java] Re: Error in Production Datastore Explorer

2010-01-31 Thread Wesley C (Google)
david,

thanks for writing back. i wasn't around during the time when they
designed this core part of App Engine's data models, but one obvious
thing that stands out in my mind as a good reason is the validation of
these special fields.

if you had automated checks of this data, you would, presumably need
some string that represents a valid URI. other reasons include
consistency to the gData interface as well as the equivalent data in
XML or Atom formats.

if you want to allow blanks, it may be better to just leave them as
StringProperty.
