Hi, 

I have a an that has a faulty index. I've used appcfg.py vacuum_indexes an number of times but it won't go away!

Is there any other way?

Exactly the same problem here (app "logdigger1"). I reported
production issue 8 hours ago but still no response from GAE team.

- remove the index entry from index.yaml,
- vacuum indexes
- put the index definition back
- update/redeploy the app

Yes, I followed these instructions (they appeared after unsuccessful
deployment). In fact, the index that's in Error state wasn't in my
datastore-indexes.xml at all. Vacuuming didn't delete it.

I even removed two similar indexes (the same properties but in
different order) but that didn't help. I even have additional problem
now as after re-enabling these two indexes they're in Building state
for 8 hours already although database is only 30MB.

Something's definitely broken.

Can anyone tell me what's expected response time from GAE team in case
of index stuck in Error state? What's your experience?

I opened production issue (6497) more than 2 days ago requesting index
deletion (as vacuum index didn't help) and still no response from
Google. (The app has billing enabled.)

I understand there's no guarantee about response time but this is
ridiculous.

It is ridiculous, but you have to pay additional $500 per month if you want to get a response.

For the curious, no response from GAE team 5 days since reporting
index in Error state (that I cannot vacuum) and 2 more indexes stuck
in Building state.
How long would you wait before giving up and migrating elsewhere?
I guess everyone has different tolerance for this zero support (what's
SLA for?)... My application in question is not heavily used yet but I
have another very alive application. Can't imagine what would happen
there. In any case, this doesn't look good. Unless you can pay $500/
month to GAE (and are eligible party in the first place), if something
goes wrong, you can only pray that the issue will go away...
