    For checking the existence of one entity by key, the simplest and cheapest would be to simply use get():

    DatastoreService datastore = DatastoreServiceFactory.getDatastoreService();
    datastore.get(KeyFactory.createKey(kind, long) )
    

    Get (1 read operation) is cheaper the query (1 read + 1 small): http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html
