We have a cron job which fetches up to 1,000 entities based on a
timestamp--no transactions, no writes. It has been working for several
weeks.

I recently added an index (the timestamp, plus a boolean).
Subsequently, the datastore is almost completely unresponsive with
these entities. The vast majority of the queries raise a Timeout
exception, always after exactly 4 seconds. It seems that I can hardly
query these entities at all, using any filter.

I was under the impression that off-and-on timeouts are transient. But
this has been happening for nearly a day. Also I expected that once an
index is serving, no legal query could possibly time out always.

I am concerned that I have an index or datastore issue. Does anybody
have any insights about this?
