Error Building Index

[Arun Shanker Prasad]

Hi all,

I uploaded a new release for my application, I saw that the Indexes
were in the "Error" state in the Dashboard..
So i did a vacuum and tried to update the indexes again but I keep
getting this error,

Error 400: --- begin server output ---
Building a composite index failed: ApplicationError: 3
--- end server output ---


Anyone have any similar experiences???
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Arun Shanker Prasad.

Hi,

Currently, you can not upload a new app version while there are any indexes in the building/deleting state.  I suspect this is the problem.

Hi Marzia,

Thanks for the quick reply. I just had a look, the indexes I
vacuumed are in the Building state.

I have never had them take so long to build..

Thanks,

Hi,

My indexes are still in the "Building" status in the
Dashboard.. Its been more than 48 hours.. I don't think I have that
much data for it to take so long..

My development has gone to a stand still since this problem.

Also there is an error message in my dashboard,

An error has occurred. Your application is exceeding a quota. (Error
Code: 40)

I had a look at the number of indexes defined in my Indexes page, as
far as I can tell there are only ~80 indexes.. I thought 100 was the
limit.

Thanks,
Arun Shanker Prasad.

Hi,

Another index I was uploading along with the stuck indexes was
causing this problem.

Thanks to the Google App Engine team for taking the time to find
the issue and let me know how this issue can be fixed.

For any future reference, may be others may already know about this,
if any application is uploaded with an exploding index and we vacuum
and try to upload the exploding index along with the new indexes, the
new index (which might be perfectly fine) may not build.

Thanks,
Arun Shanker Prasad.
