Hello, Let me preface this by saying that I don't believe the planned pricing changes will have a dramatic impact on my costs - in-fact it has motivated me to trim the fat and I'm already seeing large savings.
That said, my biggest cost is datastore writes. I completely understand that updating a composite index should "cost" a data store write, but the problem is 90% of my data store writes are coming from the "built-in" indexes on each property. (I specifically have 6 properties). I would happily turn of the built in indexes on many of these properties, but using indexed=False also prevents me from including that property in a composite index as well! In retrospect I could easily have hashed the 6 properties into 1 indexable property - but that seems ridiculous as all I want to do is say, "Don't create built in indexes for these, but allow me to include them in composite indexes" MAIN POINT: Is there a reason it is not possible to turn off built in indexes? It seems unfair that I cannot disable these indexes but am charged full price for them (and its >>> my actual writes) Thanks, Kevin Datastore quota info provided below: Datastore API Calls 0% 127,540,291 of Unlimited Okay Datastore Queries 0% 517,774 of Unlimited Okay Blobstore API Calls 0% 0 of Unlimited Okay Total Stored Data 10% 157.95 of 1,601.00 GBytes Okay Blobstore Stored Data 0% 0.00 of 1,601.00 GBytes Okay Data Sent to Datastore API 0% 17.19 of Unlimited GBytes Okay Data Received from Datastore API 0% 12.01 of Unlimited GBytes Okay Datastore CPU Time 0% 1,187.75 of Unlimited CPU hours Okay Datastore Entity Fetch Ops 0% 75,875,047 of Unlimited Okay --------------------------------------------- Datastore Entity Put Ops 0% 35,815,086 of Unlimited Okay ----------------------------------------- Datastore Entity Delete Ops 0% 31,931 of Unlimited Okay ----------------------------------------------------- Datastore Index Write Ops 0% **** 288,168,806 ****** of Unlimited Okay ----------------------------------------------- Datastore Query Ops 0% 517,617 of Unlimited Okay Datastore Key Fetch Ops 0% 14,858,227 of Unlimited Okay Datastore Id Allocation Ops 0% 0 of Unlimited Okay Number of Indexes 2% 3 of 200 Okay Prospective Search Subscriptions 0% 0 of 10,000 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
