Re: [google-appengine] Re: Video streaming - possible, or not?

Ah, I grossly over-estimated the size of the videos I'll be working with. They'll be more in the size range of a few mb. So this seems easier to get going business-wise. If anyone has any walkthroughs about video streaming and app engine, that'd be great. If not, I'll be happy to post a

Hi Ritesh, Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it. It looks like I have to see how large my intended video files are, and how much usage I'll get from users. For example, outgoing bandwidth costs $0.12 per GB. If I have a single video file that's 1gb, and 100 people watch it that day,

Thanks Jeff. I think the I/O video I saw was from 2008, given by Bret, not sure if it's the same one you're referencing (maybe I mixed them up) but it does talk about the fan out problem for microblogging and gives a solution. The solution in the video is comprehensible but two points stuck out

Cool, if you structure your entity class like this though: class Entity { ListString tags; String foo; } how are you going to query which Entity instances match a given tag? I think that all the tags need to be indexed so your query statement can find them - I'm not

Re: [appengine-java] Get objects back in the order they were inserted into the data store?

Hi Ikai, Sorry to bug you, I didn't quite follow - reworded here: I *do* need an index on the timestamp field because I want a desc filter. This ordering may not exactly be the insertion order, but pretty close. If I wanted to present the objects by real insertion order, I'd need an additional

Yes checkout: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/uploadinganapp.html#Downloading_Logs the problem I'm facing is that storing all the extra analytics I'm interested in adds additional complexity and cost to my app. Downloading the logs and parsing them offline could be a solution,

Hmm ok I see, so I'm just using JDO without any frameworks on top of that, but as mentioned in the slim3 tests, JDO does add overhead (sometimes a significant amount). I don't plan to be doing any large queries (the slim3 example fetches 10,000 objects which I don't plan on doing at any point),

Hi Stephen, How does app engine know to let them both access the same data store, is it just that the last portion of the app identifier is the same? For example, my project is called orange: orange.appspot.com blah.whatever.orange.appspot.com is it just because orange appears before
