There really need to be better error messages about this. The console simply saying "Error" for some index state isn't enough. Can we get some message like "Entity $key exploded the index" or "Index is too complex: $index_specification ..." I have something in production and the development copies are fine but the production version (two separate apps) has Error indexes and people are kinda panicked about this and there seems to be nothing to do but the "update-remove, vacuum, update-restore" dance and there's no guess how long that will take and there's no guarantee the index won't explode again and we don't know why it exploded and paying customers are getting error message pages.
Why isn't the index self-healing in some way or have graceful-degradation instead of simply "Error" totally broken? Is there a bug about this I can vote up? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
