Thanks for the reply, Jordan. I also saw there is a separate group for discussions about Google Cloud Datastore. ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gcd-discuss ) I probably should have posted there first / instead of in this group.
We do have existing Java code in our server (deployed to a Google App Engine environment) which accesses our datastores via Java libraries. We do use the Cloud Console, mostly in a limited and ad hoc manner, as needed for some tasks as part of DevOps, debugging, testing, etc.. I was just curious about a possible existing command-line tool which might (a) have advantages over the Cloud Console, (b) be used as a sanity check for comparison with the results we are seeing from our Java code.
