[appengine-java] Re: Unable to vacuum error indexes

2010-05-07 Thread Ben Gerdemann
Not sure what happened, but after waiting overnight the ERROR indexes
have disappeared and I could update the new indexes successfully. For
anyone else with a similar situation following this thread, it seems
that deleting error indexes can take several hours so be patient! :)

 first error message more carefully, it appears that I should have
 waited until after the indexes were deleted completely before trying
 to upload again. Now I'm stuck with two error indexes that I can't
 delete. When I try to use vacuum_indexes, I don't get any errors, but
 the indexes are still marked as ERROR in the admin console. What can
 I do?

 On a related note, what kind of support does Google provide for App
 Engine? I noticed a lot of posts about broken indexes in the main App
 Engine group and sometimes a Google employee would respond directly in
 the group asking for the App ID so they could investigate the problem.
 There isn't a way to open a support ticket for your app? It seems like
 there are some problems with indexes that are impossible for users to
 solve themselves and posting for help on the forum hoping that a
 Google employee will respond doesn't seem very professional... BUT if
 someone from Google is reading this my app is vagabooks, and can you
 please delete my indexes? :)

 Cheers,
 Ben

  Deleting selected index definitions.

  Is there something wrong with GAE today. Can someone at Google help?
