Google-cloud-java: Make Objectify work with google-cloud-datastore

[aozarov]

Objectify is a popular data access API for Google Cloud Datastore.

It would be great if we are able to make it work with gcloud-java-datastore.

Would love to see this!

Is there any progress on this?

[mziccard]

I am sad to say there's no progress on this and no ETA. We would love this to be reality but for the time being it's not a priority.

This, together with a public endpoint for the Search API, would be the final piece to give us flexibility to freely move on and off the App Engine.

For those of you who are still looking for a high level API like Objectify, check out Catatumbo - A JPA like framework for the Cloud Datastore.
