Sorry Google, I jumped the gun.
I recently tweeted that something broke when I updated my Quote Crate application from version 1.2.5 of the AppEngine SDK to version 1.3.1. As it turns out this was unfair to Google (sorry). It doesn’t appear to have had anything to do with the SDK change but rather my poor implementation of Lucene for the AppEngine datastore.
Since the data in my application was all my test data I wiped it all and and tested the application again. Much to my surprise, with no data entries saved without a problem until I had nine entries. After the ninth entry it started dying again. This, along with the still failing after rolling back to 1.2.5, makes me pretty certain it’s my code and nothing to do with the AppEngine.
So it seems it’s time to go back to the drawing board on how that all operates but it looks like someone else has tackled the Lucene on AppEngine problem in the form of GAELucene on Google code. I’m going to dig through this a bit and see how that works and if I can take some inspiration from it in order to clean up my code.
