I would like to wipe out all data for a specific kind. What is the
best way to do this?
I wrote a delete script (hack), but since there is so much data is
timeout's out after a few hundred records.

Hi,

Currently there is no quick solution for deleting all entities of a specific kind.  The only way this can be achieved is to write a handler that chunks the data in to manageable sizes, and then deletes the data over a series of requests.

If this is something you'd like to see, please star the issue for in the issue tracker.
