My indexes seem to be stuck "Building" (2 weeks)

Our indexes have been "Building" for two weeks now, would someone please look into it? My boss is getting impatient with me.

We've re-factored and I just now vacuumed the old instances.

Hi Johnson,

I checked the logs and found that the cause is invalid utf-8 strings
in the keys of some of your entities, specifically with the kind
'Session'.
Here is the similar case:
https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=8600

Do you put parent keys on those entities? If yes how?

Hi Takashi, thanks for the quick response! 

I don't use any parent keys at all, AFAIK. I use Gorilla Toolkit (similar to Tipfy) for sessions: https://github.com/gorilla/sessions

This is the GAE wrapper Rodrigo Moraes wrote for it: http://godoc.org/code.google.com/p/sadbox/appengine/sessions

I will refer Rodrigo to this thread, and I will purge the Session entites using Datastore Admin (Viewer fails with "Server Error A server error has occurred.").

Once we resolve the issue, as long as there are no entities with bad keys in the datastore, will index building commence/continue normally, or do I have to come back here to request a reset?

Please let me know when you resolve the bad keys.

Okay, we've built your indexes.
Please note that the keys with invalid utf-8 characters will cause a
similar problem again.

Thanks Takashi, I appreciate it! 

Rodrigo is normally very helpful, so hopefully he'll have time and we can figure out what happened. In the meantime, I've removed Sessions from my app.
