Package github.com/qedus/nds
is a datastore API for the Google App Engine (GAE) Go Runtime Environment that uses memcache to cache all datastore requests. This package guarantees strong cache consistency, meaning you will never get data from a stale cache.
Exposed parts of this API are the same as the official one distributed by Google (appengine/datastore
). However, underneath github.com/qedus/nds
uses a caching stategy similar to the GAE Python NDB API. In fact the caching strategy used here even fixes one or two of the Python NDB caching consistency bugs.
You can find the API documentation at http://godoc.org/github.com/qedus/nds.
One other benefit is that the standard datastore.GetMulti
function only allows you to retrieve a maximum of 1000 entities at a time. The GetMulti
in this package allows you to get as many as you need (within timeout limits) by concurrently calling the datastore until your entity request is fulfilled.
You can use this package in exactly the same way you would use appengine/datastore
. However, it is important that you use nds.Get*
, nds.Put*
, nds.Delete*
and nds.RunInTransaction
entirely within your code. Do not mix use of those functions with the appengine/datastore
equivalents as you will be liable to get stale datastore entities from github.com/qedus/nds
.
Ultimately all you need to do is find/replace the following in your codebase:
datastore.Get
->nds.Get
datastore.Put
->nds.Put
datastore.Delete
->nds.Delete
datastore.RunInTransaction
->nds.RunInTransaction
