## Class ShortBlob

- java.lang.Object
- - com.google.appengine.api.datastore.ShortBlob

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ShortBlob>

      public final class ShortBlob
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ShortBlob>

  `ShortBlob` contains an array of bytes no longer than `DataTypeUtils.MAX_SHORT_BLOB_PROPERTY_LENGTH`. Unlike `Blob`, `ShortBlobs` are indexed by the datastore and can therefore be filtered and sorted on in queries. If your data is too large to fit in a `ShortBlob` use `Blob` instead.
