The "datastore statistics" is a great concept. However, I consistently see that the majority of my space goes to metadata. From other postings I see that I am not the only one. Here is an example from my application that contains roughly 15,000 entities:
Breakdown by Property Type Property Type Size Blob 11 MBytes String 5 MBytes Integer 2 MBytes Key 2 MBytes NULL 726 KBytes Date/Time 705 KBytes Text 461 KBytes Boolean 13 KBytes GeoPt 5 KBytes Metadata 683 MBytes The breakdown is really not useful when it breaks down the 3% of the space while the 97% of the space is consumed by metadata that I cannot drill into!!!!! Based on previous postings on what metadata is, I am wondering, are the protocol buffers so inefficient? Can this be related to exploding indexes and if yes how is this possible, do metadata account for composite indexes as well? Any advice on how to troubleshoot this issue? One more question, the size of my entities is reported as 705MB, however the dashboard shows that I use 2.31GB. Is the difference between these two figures the size of the composite indexes?
