Re: [google-appengine] App Engine HRD migration and easier process for people with no data

[Joshua Smith]

I have one such app, and I can tell you that it has had exactly 0 downtime for years. If you don't use the datastore, then whether you are on HR or M/S completely doesn't matter. Even during periodic maintenance, the app will just keep on serving.

So… why bother?

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'd assume there are a large number of appengine applications that have stored nothing in the datastore.

It would be fantastic if there was a quick, easy tool to do the migration to HRD for those applications without the hassle of changing the application name and other goodies people with a more serious migrations have to do.  Again, I may be wrong, but I'd assume that, if you have no data in your master/slave datastore, if you are not using your master/slave datastore, the migration to HRD could be done in place.

Perhaps someone at Google could think about that, whether it would be easy to do, and how many people fall into this category.  I'm sure you'd have much higher compliance if you made it easier, and this probably is one easy way to make it easier for a large number of people.

Google's messaging about migration is getting stronger, so I assume the "why bother" is "so Google doesn't one day shut down my instance".

Oh, well.. yeah. Good point.

I think google is stuck supporting M/S for 3 years after their deprecation warning, though. So I'm in no hurry.
