title: Google App Engine - getting count of records that match criteria over 1000
body: <p>I've read in multiple locations that GAE lifted the 1000 record limit on queries and counts, however, I can only seem to get a count of the records up to 1000.  I won't be pulling more than 1000 queries at a time, but the requirements are such that I need a count of the matching records.</p>
  
  <p>I understand you can use cursors to "paginate" through the dataset, but to cycle through just to get a count seems a bit much.  Presumably when they said they "lifted" the limit, it was the hard limit - you still need to cycle through the results 1000 at a time, am I correct?</p>
  
  <p>Should I be using a method other than the .all()/filter method to generate 1000+ counts?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for all your help!</p>
