[google-appengine] a transaction committed _and_ errored?

2011-09-21 Thread Brian Olson
I'm trying to figure out and diagnose an odd problem, and my best guess so far is that a datastore transaction successfully stored data* and* also returned an error message. (I happen to be using Python, but this might be a general datastore issue) The code goes about like this: txn(key): x

[google-appengine] Re: Unexpected Entity Group transaction contention

2011-09-14 Thread Brian Olson
Multi-entity transactions would allow me to redesign my app to not have the parent-child relationship and then the contentious operations on children would be just fine as those child entities would be unrelated in the new version. I'm sure multi-entity transactions are going to come with

[google-appengine] Unexpected Entity Group transaction contention

2011-09-13 Thread Brian Olson
Re-reading the documentation, this kinda makes sense, but it bit me recently so I want to tell the story and see what others think. I make an entity Parent(). Some time later I make an entity Child(parent=some_parent) and I do this in a transaction. I do this a bunch, concurrently from

[google-appengine] Enforced Rate in task queues ruining performance

2011-08-01 Thread Brian Olson
Why do we sometimes get vastly underperforming task queues? I've attached a screenshot showing how we're getting 0.62/s on a task queue that's configured to run at 10/s. (and another getting 1.25/s where it should be 10/s). What's the magic word to tell AppEngine yes, really, run at full speed?

[google-appengine] Slow log propagation

2011-07-19 Thread Brian Olson
I'm seeing right now, and a coworker of mine saw in the last couple days, really slow log propagation. It's now Tue Jul 19 13:27:55 UTC 2011 and I haven't seen an INFO log statement since 2011-07-19 11:36:30.982 (UTC) However, if I drop the log console back to 'all requests' I do get current

[google-appengine] vacuum_indexes consistently fails. blocking development.

2011-07-18 Thread Brian Olson
I've had a production issue open since April with no resolution: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4914 My app still has zombie indexes. No amount of update_indexes with a trimmed index.yaml followed by vacuum_indexes makes these things go away. Please fix this bug. We

[google-appengine] Index Error is impossible to debug

2010-11-29 Thread Brian Olson
Why does adding this to my index.yaml fail to build an index? - kind: FooBar ancestor: yes properties: - name: __key__ direction: desc That should be a simple enough index, yes? What's the problem? Banging my head against this problem for the last few hours has really soured me on the whole
