When I do a get() with an ancestor constraint, it seems like I get all entities for that ancestor key and all ancestors that it is parent to.
In this case, I am using ancestral relationships to represent a homogenous tree (all nodes represented by the same kind; every level is immediately consistent). All of the IDs I am using are globally unique and I have the parent-ID written on each entity (in addition to it being in the ancestor path).
Since the by-ancestor retrieval returns too much data (all levels at and below rather than just the immediate level; The documentation doesn't mention this and a couple of others eccentricities), I'll need to add a filter to make sure I just get back the current level.
So, the question is whether there's a difference in efficiency to do a ancestor().filter() versus just filter() since these both produce the same results for me.
Thanks.
