How-to delete indexes in Google App Engine (Java)?

Question

Is there a way to delete unused indexes in Google App Engine Java application?

The only one way I was able to find is to create an empty Python GAE application and run the following command:

appcfg.py vacuum_indexes /path/to/myapp/

Is there a more intelligent way?

Answer 1

I remember reading that currently this is the only way. There is an issue in the issue tracker for this support for Java, but its not yet implemented. http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1893
