Beginning 3/11/2016 we have been repeatedly getting this error for a large 
number of sheets in many different Drive accounts:
We're sorry, a server error occurred. Please wait a bit and try 
reloading your spreadsheet.

The Apps Status Dashboard shows there was an issue with Drive at that time, 
it seems to have started coinciding with that, but things never returned to 
normal after this was reported as fixed:

We are using the Java client, this is a full stack trace from the client:

com.google.gdata.util.ServiceException: Internal Server Error
We're sorry, a server error occurred. Please wait a bit and try 
reloading your spreadsheet.

The exact line in our code that is triggering this error is:

SpreadsheetFeed spreadsheetFeed = service.getFeed(SPREADSHEET_FEED_URL, 
SpreadsheetFeed.class);

This code works about 80% of the time and fails with the error about 20% of 
the time. It seems like most sheets either work every time or fail every 
time, when a sheet gets this error, waiting and retrying does not seem to 
help, but in the meantime other sheets will continue to work. Does anyone 
know the specific trigger or cause of this error message?
