I'm currently storing an ID property as an Integer in the datastore.
This ID is actually an ID from a third party API. Recently they
announced that this ID field will now be a String type.
I understand that different entities of the same kind can have
different properties as well as having the same property with
different types. This is fine for new entities that I save with the
updated Java model, but how do I handle retrieval of old entities
using this updated Java model? I'm currently getting a
ClassCastException ("java.lang.Long cannot be cast to
java.lang.String") which is to be expected.
What's the recommendation on how to handle this, as this would appear
to be a common scenario?
Thanks
