Good Lord thats scary sounding.

I believe the app engine datastore has been stated as being built upon bigtable. I suppose the index creation is "newer" code than the core of bigtable, but I'd like to hope that the Google bigtable code is bugfree at this point...

Nothing is ever bug free. The only thing the Big Table team can hope for is "statistically unlikely to contain a serious bug in the code paths commonly executed by our high traffic products".

True; on the other hand, you don't exit beta if you have a known data corruption bug.
