The difference is likely coming from the indexes, both implicit indexes that Google builds systematically, and indexes that you have requested explicitly. When asked about the lack of visibility into indexes disk usage, during the IRC office hours, the Google people said they were working on improving that, and the admin console will likely give you more details about where that extra space is going. It will be very useful, as you can mark properties to be non-indexable, and thus save space. They also talked about an article they will publish soon that gives enough details on how indexes are built that you can at least predict the size of your indexes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
