The datastore does not delete things right away. It marks them as delete and waits for a compaction to actually remove the data. If a lot of data is deleted at the start of a query, the datastore will have to skip all the deleted rows until it finds the first real entity. This is what is causing

The only problem I see is that you won't be able to get existing data with 'updated=False', the old data won't be indexed. You'll need to just get everything and maybe skip the stuff you have already pushed. Otherwise sounds like the idea might work. On Sep 4, 2011 6:08 AM, Natalie
