datastore remove index


Cloud Datastore imposes limits on the number and overall size of index entries that can be associated with a single entity. These limits are large, and most applications are not affected. However, there are circumstances in which you might encounter the limits.

Types of Datastore index

datastore composite indices
Datastore composite indices

Built-in indexes

By default, Cloud Datastore automatically predefines an index for each property of each entity kind. These single property indexes are suitable for simple types of queries.

Composite indexes

Composite indexes index multiple property values per indexed entity. Composite indexes support complex queries and are defined in an index configuration file (index.yaml).

Cost Counting for Datastore write

In the current pricing model, inserting a new entity costs
2 write operations for the entity + 2 write operations per index.
here index may be the composite index or built-in index ( single property index).
You can remove composite index using either gcloud tool or appcfg


Remove composite Datastore index

To remove composite index just update the index file and run appcfg command with vacuum_index as argument 
appcfg.py -A <project-name> vacuum_indexes <directory>

<diretory> : directory that contains the index.yaml file for your project
Notice that this will only remove the composite index ( indices defined in the index.ymal ) file.




Remove Property based  Datastore index 

To remove the index from the individual property you have to remove the index from each and every record in the Datastore
  Remove property index
Remove property index

I don't find another fast and efficient way to remove the index from individual property with existing data

Firebase - update a spacific fields of single element of object of array in firestore

Firebase - update a spacific fields of single element of object of array in firestore  Its actully advisable to use map instead of array when ever it is possible. But, there are cetain cases where you don't have option to do so.  For example, you are directly saving the response from some outer source without any modification and they send you an array. In this case you will have array to work with. Firestore does not support array here is why  "bad things can happen if you have multiple clients all trying to update or delete array elements at specific indexes. In the past, Cloud Firestore addressed these issues by limiting what you can do with arrays " For more details information you can refer to Kato Richardson post Best Practices: Arrays in Firebase .  Firestore document having array [ used from stackoverflow question ] Suppose you have array of object something like shown in array. Now you want to update endTime field of the object on the index [1]
