Bulk get of child entities on Google app engine?
- by dfrankow
On Google App Engine in Python, I have a Visit entity that has a parent of Patient. A Patient may have multiple visits.
I need to set the most_recent_visit (and some auxiliary visit data) somewhere for later querying, probably in another child entity that Brett Slatkin might call a "relationship index entity."
I wish to do so in a bulk style as follows:
1. get 100 Patient keys
2. get all Visits that have any of the Patients from 1 as an ancestor
3. go through the Visits and get the latest for each Patient
Is there any way to perform step 2 in a bulk get?
I know there is a way to bulk get entities from a list of keys, and there is a way to match a single entity by its ancestor.
