I have several apps and I've got this pesky to-do list item for all of them, to switch them over to the HR datastore.
In preparation, I've read blog entries by people who have done this, and I'm still on the fence about whether it is worth the trouble. I get very few datastore timeouts in my apps, and periodic maintenance has never really been an issue. I've read about gotchas with eventual consistency, and it seems unlikely that I could convince myself that I'm safe from this for any reasonably complex app. (I'm not concerned that I cannot reprogram the apps to fix the problem, but rather I'm concerned that I could not ensure there weren't going to be problems. If it ain't broke...) I'm not clear on how I would go about getting google to grandfather my old 2000 emails quotas if I create a new -hr version of my app. I've also read that migrating uses TONS of CPU, and it is therefore going to cost me money to do. Really, the only reason TO do the switch is that I've read repeated admonitions from google that I *should* be using HR. What's the consensus here? Is it worth the time, risk, and cost? -Joshua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
