It does seem like the number of timeouts has increased in recent
weeks. I just checked my logs, and during the minute of 11:33am this
morning I had 43 timeout data store errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/
__init__.py", line
Thanks for your reply, Jon, but I don't have any entity groups with
more than one entity right now. I had the same thought a while back,
and haven't been using any entity groups or ancestors since 2 months
ago, but nothing changed. These timeouts are happening when putting
single entities.

Hi Alex, sorry for the frustrations this is causing. The first thing I
would check for here is to verify that these writes are not failing
due to entity group contention. (documentation on entity groups:
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/datastore/keysandentitygroups.html#Entity_Groups_Ancesto
As an example, of how frequently datastore write timeouts are
happening on app engine, here are the last 20 entries in my production
error log, showing 20 timeouts in 15 minutes!
I'm hoping the Google team will break their silence about this and at
least acknowledge the problem.
