Giant Mismatch Between Datastore Stats -- Size of All Entities and Datastore Stored Data

[James Gilliam]

According to the stats, I am using 94 megs and about a third of this
is for metadata. According to the Datastore Stored Data, I am using
300 megs (.3G).

I assume the difference is storing keys, stats, and perhaps other
things.

Roughly, only 20% of the Stored Data is my data. Would just like to
how how the other 80% is being used.

Can we get a better breakdown of the Datastore Stored Data since it is
a billable item?

Thanks

James,

The difference you're seeing is the storage required by the indexes.  It's normal for the indexes to often take more space than the data itself.

I would also be curious about an answer to this question:

"Can we get a better breakdown of the Datastore Stored Data since it is a billable item?"

If the indexes are using the most space, how can I tell which fields or combinations of fields are consuming the index space?
