Hi,
I'm looking at my datastore statistics, looks like my entity
attributes are always smaller in size than their associated metadata.
For example, datastore viewer shows this for an entity of mine
(property names are shortened to reduce size required per entity):
Storage Space by Property Type
d String 90 Bytes (9% of the entity)
ts Integer 75 Bytes (8% of the entity)
tl String 75 Bytes (8% of the entity)
u String 75 Bytes (8% of the entity)
pr Integer 50 Bytes (5% of the entity)
Metadata 588 Bytes (62% of the entity)
I had arranged my entities in such a way as to keep them as small as
possible, but it looks like the size required by the metadata per
entity is just negating all my efforts. I understand app engine has to
serialize all the info about the entity, but I thought this would be
something more like a matter of a few bytes:
[attribute_name + length] per attribute
I'm worried all my disk quota is going to get eaten up fast. Does the
above look typical, and if it does, what are methods to reduce the
metadata size?
Besides that, the Integer attributes above are plain old 'int' types,
not 'Integer', but they still require 75 bytes each?
Are there any platforms like app engine that offer a datastore with
schemas so that all the entity info doesn't need to be serialized with
the entity?
Thanks
