What counts towards the GAE datastore quotas?

The docs say that there are 50,000 free Read, Write, and Small Operations to the datastore.

I guess read and write are obvious, but what falls under the "small ops" category? If I ran a query would it be a small or read operation?

Here's the documentation on this. As I understand it, queries by key are considered "small operations," so a query for entities, a query for keys, and creating a new key all deplete the small operations quota.

A query is both a small and read operation: it costs 1 read + 1 small per entity retrieved.
