{'GlobalTableDescription': {'ReplicationGroup': {'ReplicaStatus': {'INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS'}}}}

Creates a global table from an existing table. A global table creates a replication relationship between two or more DynamoDB tables with the same table name in the provided Regions.

If you want to add a new replica table to a global table, each of the following conditions must be true:

• The table must have the same primary key as all of the other replicas.

• The table must have the same name as all of the other replicas.

• The table must have DynamoDB Streams enabled, with the stream containing both the new and the old images of the item.

• None of the replica tables in the global table can contain any data.

If global secondary indexes are specified, then the following conditions must also be met:

• The global secondary indexes must have the same name.

• The global secondary indexes must have the same hash key and sort key (if present).

If local secondary indexes are specified, then the following conditions must also be met:

• The local secondary indexes must have the same name.

• The local secondary indexes must have the same hash key and sort key (if present).

{'TableDescription': {'Replicas': {'ReplicaStatus': {'INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS'}}}}

The CreateTable operation adds a new table to your account. In an AWS account, table names must be unique within each Region. That is, you can have two tables with same name if you create the tables in different Regions.

CreateTable is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving a CreateTable request, DynamoDB immediately returns a response with a TableStatus of CREATING . After the table is created, DynamoDB sets the TableStatus to ACTIVE . You can perform read and write operations only on an ACTIVE table.

You can optionally define secondary indexes on the new table, as part of the CreateTable operation. If you want to create multiple tables with secondary indexes on them, you must create the tables sequentially. Only one table with secondary indexes can be in the CREATING state at any given time.

You can use the DescribeTable action to check the table status.

  Represents an attribute for describing the key schema for the table and indexes.

  • AttributeName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    A name for the attribute.

  • AttributeType (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The data type for the attribute, where:

    • S - the attribute is of type String

    • N - the attribute is of type Number

    • B - the attribute is of type Binary

type TableName

string

param TableName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the table to create.

type KeySchema

list

param KeySchema

[REQUIRED]

Specifies the attributes that make up the primary key for a table or an index. The attributes in KeySchema must also be defined in the AttributeDefinitions array. For more information, see Data Model in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

Each KeySchemaElement in the array is composed of:

• AttributeName - The name of this key attribute.

• KeyType - The role that the key attribute will assume:

  • HASH - partition key

  • RANGE - sort key

Note

The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from the DynamoDB usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

For a simple primary key (partition key), you must provide exactly one element with a KeyType of HASH .

For a composite primary key (partition key and sort key), you must provide exactly two elements, in this order: The first element must have a KeyType of HASH , and the second element must have a KeyType of RANGE .

For more information, see Working with Tables in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

• (dict) --

  Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.

  A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.

  A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.

• (dict) --

  Describes a tag. A tag is a key-value pair. You can add up to 50 tags to a single DynamoDB table.

  AWS-assigned tag names and values are automatically assigned the aws: prefix, which the user cannot assign. AWS-assigned tag names do not count towards the tag limit of 50. User-assigned tag names have the prefix user: in the Cost Allocation Report. You cannot backdate the application of a tag.

  For an overview on tagging DynamoDB resources, see Tagging for DynamoDB in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

  • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The key of the tag. Tag keys are case sensitive. Each DynamoDB table can only have up to one tag with the same key. If you try to add an existing tag (same key), the existing tag value will be updated to the new value.

  • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The value of the tag. Tag values are case-sensitive and can be null.

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  Represents the output of a CreateTable operation.

  • TableDescription (dict) --

    Represents the properties of the table.

    • AttributeDefinitions (list) --

      An array of AttributeDefinition objects. Each of these objects describes one attribute in the table and index key schema.

      Each AttributeDefinition object in this array is composed of:

      • AttributeName - The name of the attribute.

      • AttributeType - The data type for the attribute.

      • (dict) --

        Represents an attribute for describing the key schema for the table and indexes.

        • AttributeName (string) --

          A name for the attribute.

        • AttributeType (string) --

          The data type for the attribute, where:

          • S - the attribute is of type String

          • N - the attribute is of type Number

          • B - the attribute is of type Binary

    • TableName (string) --

      The name of the table.

    • KeySchema (list) --

      The primary key structure for the table. Each KeySchemaElement consists of:

      • AttributeName - The name of the attribute.

      • KeyType - The role of the attribute:

        • HASH - partition key

        • RANGE - sort key

      Note

      The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

      The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

      For more information about primary keys, see Primary Key in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      • (dict) --

        Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.

        A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.

        A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.

        • AttributeName (string) --

          The name of a key attribute.

        • KeyType (string) --

          The role that this key attribute will assume:

          • HASH - partition key

          • RANGE - sort key

          Note

          The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

          The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

    • TableStatus (string) --

      The current state of the table:

      • CREATING - The table is being created.

      • UPDATING - The table is being updated.

      • DELETING - The table is being deleted.

      • ACTIVE - The table is ready for use.

      • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The AWS KMS key used to encrypt the table in inaccessible. Table operations may fail due to failure to use the AWS KMS key. DynamoDB will initiate the table archival process when a table's AWS KMS key remains inaccessible for more than seven days.

      • ARCHIVING - The table is being archived. Operations are not allowed until archival is complete.

      • ARCHIVED - The table has been archived. See the ArchivalReason for more information.

    • CreationDateTime (datetime) --

      The date and time when the table was created, in UNIX epoch time format.

    • ProvisionedThroughput (dict) --

      The provisioned throughput settings for the table, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.

      • LastIncreaseDateTime (datetime) --

        The date and time of the last provisioned throughput increase for this table.

      • LastDecreaseDateTime (datetime) --

        The date and time of the last provisioned throughput decrease for this table.

      • NumberOfDecreasesToday (integer) --

        The number of provisioned throughput decreases for this table during this UTC calendar day. For current maximums on provisioned throughput decreases, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      • ReadCapacityUnits (integer) --

        The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException . Eventually consistent reads require less effort than strongly consistent reads, so a setting of 50 ReadCapacityUnits per second provides 100 eventually consistent ReadCapacityUnits per second.

      • WriteCapacityUnits (integer) --

        The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException .

    • TableSizeBytes (integer) --

      The total size of the specified table, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

    • ItemCount (integer) --

      The number of items in the specified table. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

    • TableArn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the table.

    • TableId (string) --

      Unique identifier for the table for which the backup was created.

    • BillingModeSummary (dict) --

      Contains the details for the read/write capacity mode.

      • BillingMode (string) --

        Controls how you are charged for read and write throughput and how you manage capacity. This setting can be changed later.

        • PROVISIONED - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PROVISIONED . We recommend using PROVISIONED for predictable workloads.

        • PAY_PER_REQUEST - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PAY_PER_REQUEST . We recommend using PAY_PER_REQUEST for unpredictable workloads.

      • LastUpdateToPayPerRequestDateTime (datetime) --

        Represents the time when PAY_PER_REQUEST was last set as the read/write capacity mode.

    • LocalSecondaryIndexes (list) --

      Represents one or more local secondary indexes on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Tables with one or more local secondary indexes are subject to an item collection size limit, where the amount of data within a given item collection cannot exceed 10 GB. Each element is composed of:

      • IndexName - The name of the local secondary index.

      • KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.

      • Projection - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:

        • ProjectionType - One of the following:

          • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

          • INCLUDE - Only the specified table attributes are projected into the index. The list of projected attributes is in NonKeyAttributes .

          • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

        • NonKeyAttributes - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes , summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 20. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

      • IndexSizeBytes - Represents the total size of the index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

      • ItemCount - Represents the number of items in the index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

      If the table is in the DELETING state, no information about indexes will be returned.

      • (dict) --

        Represents the properties of a local secondary index.

        • IndexName (string) --

          Represents the name of the local secondary index.

        • KeySchema (list) --

          The complete key schema for the local secondary index, consisting of one or more pairs of attribute names and key types:

          • HASH - partition key

          • RANGE - sort key

          Note

          The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

        • Projection (dict) --

          Represents attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the global secondary index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected.

          • ProjectionType (string) --

            The set of attributes that are projected into the index:

            • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

            • INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY , the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.

            • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

          • NonKeyAttributes (list) --

            Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.

            For local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the local secondary indexes, must not exceed 20. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

            • (string) --

        • IndexSizeBytes (integer) --

    • GlobalSecondaryIndexes (list) --

      The global secondary indexes, if any, on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Each element is composed of:

      • Backfilling - If true, then the index is currently in the backfilling phase. Backfilling occurs only when a new global secondary index is added to the table. It is the process by which DynamoDB populates the new index with data from the table. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.) You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.)

              The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

              The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

        • Projection (dict) --

          Represents attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the global secondary index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected.

          • ProjectionType (string) --

            The set of attributes that are projected into the index:

            • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

            • INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY , the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.

            • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

          • NonKeyAttributes (list) --

            Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.

            For local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the local secondary indexes, must not exceed 20. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

            • (string) --

        • IndexStatus (string) --

          The current state of the global secondary index:

          • CREATING - The index is being created.

          • UPDATING - The index is being updated.

          • DELETING - The index is being deleted.

          • ACTIVE - The index is ready for use.

        • Backfilling (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

          You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false.

          Note

          For indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation, the Backfilling attribute does not appear in the DescribeTable output.

        • ProvisionedThroughput (dict) --

          Represents the provisioned throughput settings for the specified global secondary index.

          For current minimum and maximum provisioned throughput values, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

            The date and time of the last provisioned throughput increase for this table.

          • LastDecreaseDateTime (datetime) --

            The date and time of the last provisioned throughput decrease for this table.

          • NumberOfDecreasesToday (integer) --

            The number of provisioned throughput decreases for this table during this UTC calendar day. For current maximums on provisioned throughput decreases, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

          • ReadCapacityUnits (integer) --

            The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException . Eventually consistent reads require less effort than strongly consistent reads, so a setting of 50 ReadCapacityUnits per second provides 100 eventually consistent ReadCapacityUnits per second.

          • WriteCapacityUnits (integer) --

            The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException .

        • IndexSizeBytes (integer) --

          The total size of the specified index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

        • ItemCount (integer) --

          The number of items in the specified index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

        • IndexArn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the index.

    • StreamSpecification (dict) --

      The current DynamoDB Streams configuration for the table.

      • StreamEnabled (boolean) --

        Indicates whether DynamoDB Streams is enabled (true) or disabled (false) on the table.

      • StreamViewType (string) --

        When an item in the table is modified, StreamViewType determines what information is written to the stream for this table. Valid values for StreamViewType are:

        • KEYS_ONLY - Only the key attributes of the modified item are written to the stream.

        • NEW_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appears after it was modified, is written to the stream.

        • OLD_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appeared before it was modified, is written to the stream.

        • NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES - Both the new and the old item images of the item are written to the stream.

    • LatestStreamLabel (string) --

      A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.

      Note that LatestStreamLabel is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:

      • AWS customer ID

      • Table name

      • StreamLabel

    • LatestStreamArn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the latest stream for this table.

          • DELETING - The replica is being deleted.

          • ACTIVE - The replica is ready for use.

          • REGION_DISABLED - The replica is inaccessible because the AWS Region has been disabled.

          Note

          If the AWS Region remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

          • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The AWS KMS key used to encrypt the table is inaccessible.

          Note

          If the AWS KMS key remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

        • ReplicaStatusDescription (string) --

          Detailed information about the replica status.

        • ReplicaStatusPercentProgress (string) --

          Specifies the progress of a Create, Update, or Delete action on the replica as a percentage.

              The name of the global secondary index.

            • ProvisionedThroughputOverride (dict) --

              If not described, uses the source table GSI's read capacity settings.

              • ReadCapacityUnits (integer) --

                Replica-specific read capacity units. If not specified, uses the source table's read capacity settings.

        • ReplicaInaccessibleDateTime (datetime) --

          The time at which the replica was first detected as inaccessible. To determine cause of inaccessibility check the ReplicaStatus property.

    • RestoreSummary (dict) --

        • UPDATING - Server-side encryption is being updated.

      • SSEType (string) --

        Server-side encryption type. The only supported value is:

        • KMS - Server-side encryption that uses AWS Key Management Service. The key is stored in your account and is managed by AWS KMS (AWS KMS charges apply).

      • KMSMasterKeyArn (string) --

        The AWS KMS customer master key (CMK) ARN used for the AWS KMS encryption.

      • InaccessibleEncryptionDateTime (datetime) --

        Indicates the time, in UNIX epoch date format, when DynamoDB detected that the table's AWS KMS key was inaccessible. This attribute will automatically be cleared when DynamoDB detects that the table's AWS KMS key is accessible again. DynamoDB will initiate the table archival process when table's AWS KMS key remains inaccessible for more than seven days from this date.

    • ArchivalSummary (dict) --

      Contains information about the table archive.

      • ArchivalDateTime (datetime) --

        The date and time when table archival was initiated by DynamoDB, in UNIX epoch time format.

        • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The table was archived due to the table's AWS KMS key being inaccessible for more than seven days. An On-Demand backup was created at the archival time.

      • ArchivalBackupArn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the backup the table was archived to, when applicable in the archival reason. If you wish to restore this backup to the same table name, you will need to delete the original table.

{'TableDescription': {'Replicas': {'ReplicaStatus': {'INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS'}}}}

The DeleteTable operation deletes a table and all of its items. After a DeleteTable request, the specified table is in the DELETING state until DynamoDB completes the deletion. If the table is in the ACTIVE state, you can delete it. If a table is in CREATING or UPDATING states, then DynamoDB returns a ResourceInUseException . If the specified table does not exist, DynamoDB returns a ResourceNotFoundException . If table is already in the DELETING state, no error is returned.

When you delete a table, any indexes on that table are also deleted.

If you have DynamoDB Streams enabled on the table, then the corresponding stream on that table goes into the DISABLED state, and the stream is automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Use the DescribeTable action to check the status of the table.

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  Represents the output of a DeleteTable operation.

  • TableDescription (dict) --

    Represents the properties of a table.

    • AttributeDefinitions (list) --

      An array of AttributeDefinition objects. Each of these objects describes one attribute in the table and index key schema.

      Each AttributeDefinition object in this array is composed of:

      • AttributeName - The name of the attribute.

      • AttributeType - The data type for the attribute.

      • (dict) --

        Represents an attribute for describing the key schema for the table and indexes.

        • AttributeName (string) --

          A name for the attribute.

        • AttributeType (string) --

          The data type for the attribute, where:

          • S - the attribute is of type String

          • N - the attribute is of type Number

          • B - the attribute is of type Binary

    • TableName (string) --

      The name of the table.

    • KeySchema (list) --

      The primary key structure for the table. Each KeySchemaElement consists of:

      • AttributeName - The name of the attribute.

      • KeyType - The role of the attribute:

        • HASH - partition key

        • RANGE - sort key

      Note

      The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

      The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

      For more information about primary keys, see Primary Key in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      • (dict) --

        Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.

        A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.

        A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.

        • AttributeName (string) --

          The name of a key attribute.

        • KeyType (string) --

          The role that this key attribute will assume:

          • HASH - partition key

          • RANGE - sort key

          Note

          The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

          The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

    • TableStatus (string) --

      The current state of the table:

      • CREATING - The table is being created.

      • UPDATING - The table is being updated.

      • DELETING - The table is being deleted.

      • ACTIVE - The table is ready for use.

      • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The AWS KMS key used to encrypt the table in inaccessible. Table operations may fail due to failure to use the AWS KMS key. DynamoDB will initiate the table archival process when a table's AWS KMS key remains inaccessible for more than seven days.

      • ARCHIVING - The table is being archived. Operations are not allowed until archival is complete.

      • ARCHIVED - The table has been archived. See the ArchivalReason for more information.

    • CreationDateTime (datetime) --

      The date and time when the table was created, in UNIX epoch time format.

    • ProvisionedThroughput (dict) --

      The provisioned throughput settings for the table, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.

      • LastIncreaseDateTime (datetime) --

        The date and time of the last provisioned throughput increase for this table.

      • LastDecreaseDateTime (datetime) --

        The date and time of the last provisioned throughput decrease for this table.

      • NumberOfDecreasesToday (integer) --

        The number of provisioned throughput decreases for this table during this UTC calendar day. For current maximums on provisioned throughput decreases, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      • ReadCapacityUnits (integer) --

        The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException . Eventually consistent reads require less effort than strongly consistent reads, so a setting of 50 ReadCapacityUnits per second provides 100 eventually consistent ReadCapacityUnits per second.

      • WriteCapacityUnits (integer) --

        The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException .

    • TableSizeBytes (integer) --

      The total size of the specified table, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

    • TableId (string) --

      Unique identifier for the table for which the backup was created.

    • BillingModeSummary (dict) --

      Contains the details for the read/write capacity mode.

      • BillingMode (string) --

        Controls how you are charged for read and write throughput and how you manage capacity. This setting can be changed later.

        • PROVISIONED - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PROVISIONED . We recommend using PROVISIONED for predictable workloads.

      • LastUpdateToPayPerRequestDateTime (datetime) --

        Represents the time when PAY_PER_REQUEST was last set as the read/write capacity mode.

    • LocalSecondaryIndexes (list) --

      Represents one or more local secondary indexes on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Tables with one or more local secondary indexes are subject to an item collection size limit, where the amount of data within a given item collection cannot exceed 10 GB. Each element is composed of:

      • IndexName - The name of the local secondary index.

      • KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.

      • Projection - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:

        • ProjectionType - One of the following:

          • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

          • INCLUDE - Only the specified table attributes are projected into the index. The list of projected attributes is in NonKeyAttributes .

The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes , summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 20. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

      • IndexSizeBytes - Represents the total size of the index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

      • ItemCount - Represents the number of items in the index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

      If the table is in the DELETING state, no information about indexes will be returned.

      • (dict) --

        Represents the properties of a local secondary index.

        • IndexName (string) --

          Represents the name of the local secondary index.

          The complete key schema for the local secondary index, consisting of one or more pairs of attribute names and key types:

          • HASH - partition key

          • RANGE - sort key

          Note

          The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

          The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

          • (dict) --

            Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.

            A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.

            A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.

            • AttributeName (string) --

              The name of a key attribute.

            • KeyType (string) --

              • HASH - partition key

              • RANGE - sort key

              Note

              The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

              The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

        • Projection (dict) --

          Represents attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the global secondary index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected.

          • ProjectionType (string) --

            The set of attributes that are projected into the index:

          • NonKeyAttributes (list) --

            Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.

            For local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the local secondary indexes, must not exceed 20. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

            • (string) --

        • ItemCount (integer) --

          The number of items in the specified index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

        • IndexArn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the index.

    • GlobalSecondaryIndexes (list) --

      The global secondary indexes, if any, on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Each element is composed of:

      • Backfilling - If true, then the index is currently in the backfilling phase. Backfilling occurs only when a new global secondary index is added to the table. It is the process by which DynamoDB populates the new index with data from the table. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.) You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.)

      • IndexName - The name of the global secondary index.

      • IndexSizeBytes - The total size of the global secondary index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

        • CREATING - The index is being created.

        • UPDATING - The index is being updated.

        • DELETING - The index is being deleted.

        • ACTIVE - The index is ready for use.

      • ItemCount - The number of items in the global secondary index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

      • KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.

          • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

          • INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY , the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.

          • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

        • NonKeyAttributes - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes , summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 20. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

      • ProvisionedThroughput - The provisioned throughput settings for the global secondary index, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.

          • ACTIVE - The index is ready for use.

        • Backfilling (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

          You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false.

          Note

          For indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation, the Backfilling attribute does not appear in the DescribeTable output.

        • ProvisionedThroughput (dict) --

        • NEW_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appears after it was modified, is written to the stream.

        • OLD_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appeared before it was modified, is written to the stream.

        • NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES - Both the new and the old item images of the item are written to the stream.

    • LatestStreamLabel (string) --

      A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.

      Note that LatestStreamLabel is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:

          • REGION_DISABLED - The replica is inaccessible because the AWS Region has been disabled.

          Note

          If the AWS Region remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

          • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The AWS KMS key used to encrypt the table is inaccessible.

          Note

          If the AWS KMS key remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  Represents the output of a DescribeTable operation.

  • Table (dict) --

    The properties of the table.

    • AttributeDefinitions (list) --

      An array of AttributeDefinition objects. Each of these objects describes one attribute in the table and index key schema.

      Each AttributeDefinition object in this array is composed of:

      • AttributeName - The name of the attribute.

      • AttributeType - The data type for the attribute.

      • (dict) --

        Represents an attribute for describing the key schema for the table and indexes.

        • AttributeName (string) --

          A name for the attribute.

        • AttributeType (string) --

          The data type for the attribute, where:

          • S - the attribute is of type String

          • N - the attribute is of type Number

          • B - the attribute is of type Binary

    • TableName (string) --

      The name of the table.

    • KeySchema (list) --

      The primary key structure for the table. Each KeySchemaElement consists of:

      • AttributeName - The name of the attribute.

      • KeyType - The role of the attribute:

        • HASH - partition key

        • RANGE - sort key

      Note

      The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

      The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

      For more information about primary keys, see Primary Key in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      • (dict) --

        Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.

        A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.

        A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.

        • AttributeName (string) --

          The name of a key attribute.

        • KeyType (string) --

          The role that this key attribute will assume:

          • HASH - partition key

          • RANGE - sort key

          Note

          The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

          The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

    • TableStatus (string) --

      The current state of the table:

      • CREATING - The table is being created.

      • UPDATING - The table is being updated.

      • DELETING - The table is being deleted.

      • ACTIVE - The table is ready for use.

      • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The AWS KMS key used to encrypt the table in inaccessible. Table operations may fail due to failure to use the AWS KMS key. DynamoDB will initiate the table archival process when a table's AWS KMS key remains inaccessible for more than seven days.

      • ARCHIVING - The table is being archived. Operations are not allowed until archival is complete.

      • ARCHIVED - The table has been archived. See the ArchivalReason for more information.

    • CreationDateTime (datetime) --

      The date and time when the table was created, in UNIX epoch time format.

    • ProvisionedThroughput (dict) --

      The provisioned throughput settings for the table, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.

      • LastIncreaseDateTime (datetime) --

        The date and time of the last provisioned throughput increase for this table.

      • LastDecreaseDateTime (datetime) --

        The date and time of the last provisioned throughput decrease for this table.

      • NumberOfDecreasesToday (integer) --

        The number of provisioned throughput decreases for this table during this UTC calendar day. For current maximums on provisioned throughput decreases, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      • ReadCapacityUnits (integer) --

        The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException . Eventually consistent reads require less effort than strongly consistent reads, so a setting of 50 ReadCapacityUnits per second provides 100 eventually consistent ReadCapacityUnits per second.

      • WriteCapacityUnits (integer) --

        The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException .

    • TableSizeBytes (integer) --

      The total size of the specified table, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

    • ItemCount (integer) --

      The number of items in the specified table. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

    • TableArn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the table.

    • TableId (string) --

      Unique identifier for the table for which the backup was created.

      Contains the details for the read/write capacity mode.

      • BillingMode (string) --

        Controls how you are charged for read and write throughput and how you manage capacity. This setting can be changed later.

        • PROVISIONED - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PROVISIONED . We recommend using PROVISIONED for predictable workloads.

        • PAY_PER_REQUEST - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PAY_PER_REQUEST . We recommend using PAY_PER_REQUEST for unpredictable workloads.

      • LastUpdateToPayPerRequestDateTime (datetime) --

        Represents the time when PAY_PER_REQUEST was last set as the read/write capacity mode.

    • LocalSecondaryIndexes (list) --

      Represents one or more local secondary indexes on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Tables with one or more local secondary indexes are subject to an item collection size limit, where the amount of data within a given item collection cannot exceed 10 GB. Each element is composed of:

      • IndexName - The name of the local secondary index.

      • KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.

      • Projection - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:

        • ProjectionType - One of the following:

          • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

          • INCLUDE - Only the specified table attributes are projected into the index. The list of projected attributes is in NonKeyAttributes .

          • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

        • NonKeyAttributes - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes , summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 20. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

      • IndexSizeBytes - Represents the total size of the index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

      • ItemCount - Represents the number of items in the index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

      If the table is in the DELETING state, no information about indexes will be returned.

            For local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the local secondary indexes, must not exceed 20. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

            • (string) --

        • IndexStatus (string) --

          The current state of the global secondary index:

          • CREATING - The index is being created.

          • UPDATING - The index is being updated.

          • DELETING - The index is being deleted.

          • ACTIVE - The index is ready for use.

        • Backfilling (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

          You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false.

          Note

          For indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation, the Backfilling attribute does not appear in the DescribeTable output.

        • ProvisionedThroughput (dict) --

          Represents the provisioned throughput settings for the specified global secondary index.

          For current minimum and maximum provisioned throughput values, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

          • NumberOfDecreasesToday (integer) --

            The number of provisioned throughput decreases for this table during this UTC calendar day. For current maximums on provisioned throughput decreases, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

          • ReadCapacityUnits (integer) --

            The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException . Eventually consistent reads require less effort than strongly consistent reads, so a setting of 50 ReadCapacityUnits per second provides 100 eventually consistent ReadCapacityUnits per second.

          • WriteCapacityUnits (integer) --

            The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException .

        • IndexSizeBytes (integer) --

        • ItemCount (integer) --

          The number of items in the specified index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

        • IndexArn (string) --

      • StreamViewType (string) --

        When an item in the table is modified, StreamViewType determines what information is written to the stream for this table. Valid values for StreamViewType are:

        • KEYS_ONLY - Only the key attributes of the modified item are written to the stream.

        • NEW_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appears after it was modified, is written to the stream.

        • OLD_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appeared before it was modified, is written to the stream.

        • NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES - Both the new and the old item images of the item are written to the stream.

    • LatestStreamLabel (string) --

      A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.

      Note that LatestStreamLabel is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:

      • AWS customer ID

      • Table name

      • StreamLabel

    • LatestStreamArn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the latest stream for this table.

          • DELETING - The replica is being deleted.

          • ACTIVE - The replica is ready for use.

          • REGION_DISABLED - The replica is inaccessible because the AWS Region has been disabled.

          Note

          If the AWS Region remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

          • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The AWS KMS key used to encrypt the table is inaccessible.

          Note

          If the AWS KMS key remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

                      The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale in activity completes before another scale in activity can start. The cooldown period is used to block subsequent scale in requests until it has expired. You should scale in conservatively to protect your application's availability. However, if another alarm triggers a scale out policy during the cooldown period after a scale-in, application auto scaling scales out your scalable target immediately.

                    • ScaleOutCooldown (integer) --

                      The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale out activity completes before another scale out activity can start. While the cooldown period is in effect, the capacity that has been added by the previous scale out event that initiated the cooldown is calculated as part of the desired capacity for the next scale out. You should continuously (but not excessively) scale out.

                    • TargetValue (float) --

                      The target value for the metric. The range is 8.515920e-109 to 1.174271e+108 (Base 10) or 2e-360 to 2e360 (Base 2).

                    • ScaleInCooldown (integer) --

                      The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale in activity completes before another scale in activity can start. The cooldown period is used to block subsequent scale in requests until it has expired. You should scale in conservatively to protect your application's availability. However, if another alarm triggers a scale out policy during the cooldown period after a scale-in, application auto scaling scales out your scalable target immediately.

                    • ScaleOutCooldown (integer) --

                      The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale out activity completes before another scale out activity can start. While the cooldown period is in effect, the capacity that has been added by the previous scale out event that initiated the cooldown is calculated as part of the desired capacity for the next scale out. You should continuously (but not excessively) scale out.

                    • TargetValue (float) --

type TargetTableName

string

param TargetTableName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the new table to which the backup must be restored.

type BackupArn

string

param BackupArn

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) associated with the backup.

type BillingModeOverride

string

param BillingModeOverride

The billing mode of the restored table.

type GlobalSecondaryIndexOverride

list

param GlobalSecondaryIndexOverride

List of global secondary indexes for the restored table. The indexes provided should match existing secondary indexes. You can choose to exclude some or all of the indexes at the time of restore.

• (dict) --

  Represents the properties of a global secondary index.

  • IndexName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The name of the global secondary index. The name must be unique among all other indexes on this table.

  • KeySchema (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    The complete key schema for a global secondary index, which consists of one or more pairs of attribute names and key types:

    • HASH - partition key

    • RANGE - sort key

    Note

    The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

    The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

    • (dict) --

      Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.

      A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.

      A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.

      • AttributeName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The name of a key attribute.

      • KeyType (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The role that this key attribute will assume:

        • HASH - partition key

        • RANGE - sort key

        Note

        The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

        The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

  • Projection (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

    Represents attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the global secondary index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected.

    • ProjectionType (string) --

      The set of attributes that are projected into the index:

      • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

      • INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY , the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.

      • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

    • NonKeyAttributes (list) --

      Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.

      For local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the local secondary indexes, must not exceed 20. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

      • (string) --

  • ProvisionedThroughput (dict) --

    Represents the provisioned throughput settings for the specified global secondary index.

    For current minimum and maximum provisioned throughput values, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

    • ReadCapacityUnits (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

      The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException . For more information, see Specifying Read and Write Requirements in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      If read/write capacity mode is PAY_PER_REQUEST the value is set to 0.

    • WriteCapacityUnits (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

      The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException . For more information, see Specifying Read and Write Requirements in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      If read/write capacity mode is PAY_PER_REQUEST the value is set to 0.

type LocalSecondaryIndexOverride

list

param LocalSecondaryIndexOverride

List of local secondary indexes for the restored table. The indexes provided should match existing secondary indexes. You can choose to exclude some or all of the indexes at the time of restore.

• (dict) --

  Represents the properties of a local secondary index.

  • IndexName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The name of the local secondary index. The name must be unique among all other indexes on this table.

  • KeySchema (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    The complete key schema for the local secondary index, consisting of one or more pairs of attribute names and key types:

    • HASH - partition key

    • RANGE - sort key

    Note

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  • TableDescription (dict) --

    The description of the table created from an existing backup.

    • AttributeDefinitions (list) --

      An array of AttributeDefinition objects. Each of these objects describes one attribute in the table and index key schema.

      Each AttributeDefinition object in this array is composed of:

      • AttributeName - The name of the attribute.

      • AttributeType - The data type for the attribute.

      • (dict) --

        Represents an attribute for describing the key schema for the table and indexes.

        • AttributeName (string) --

          A name for the attribute.

        • AttributeType (string) --

          The data type for the attribute, where:

          • S - the attribute is of type String

          • N - the attribute is of type Number

          • B - the attribute is of type Binary

    • TableName (string) --

      The name of the table.

    • KeySchema (list) --

      The primary key structure for the table. Each KeySchemaElement consists of:

      • AttributeName - The name of the attribute.

      • KeyType - The role of the attribute:

        • HASH - partition key

        • RANGE - sort key

      Note

      The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

      The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

      For more information about primary keys, see Primary Key in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      • (dict) --

        Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.

        A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.

        A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.

        • AttributeName (string) --

          The name of a key attribute.

        • KeyType (string) --

          The role that this key attribute will assume:

          • HASH - partition key

          • RANGE - sort key

Each element is composed of:

      • IndexName - The name of the local secondary index.

      • KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.

      • Projection - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:

          • ACTIVE - The index is ready for use.

        • Backfilling (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

          You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false.

        • NEW_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appears after it was modified, is written to the stream.

        • OLD_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appeared before it was modified, is written to the stream.

        • NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES - Both the new and the old item images of the item are written to the stream.

    • LatestStreamLabel (string) --

      A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.

      Note that LatestStreamLabel is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:

          • REGION_DISABLED - The replica is inaccessible because the AWS Region has been disabled.

          Note

          If the AWS Region remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

          • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The AWS KMS key used to encrypt the table is inaccessible.

          Note

          If the AWS KMS key remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

Restores the specified table to the specified point in time within EarliestRestorableDateTime and LatestRestorableDateTime . You can restore your table to any point in time during the last 35 days. Any number of users can execute up to 4 concurrent restores (any type of restore) in a given account.

When you restore using point in time recovery, DynamoDB restores your table data to the state based on the selected date and time (day:hour:minute:second) to a new table.

Along with data, the following are also included on the new restored table using point in time recovery:

• Global secondary indexes (GSIs)

• Local secondary indexes (LSIs)

• Provisioned read and write capacity

• Encryption settings

You must manually set up the following on the restored table:

• Auto scaling policies

• IAM policies

• Amazon CloudWatch metrics and alarms

• Tags

• Stream settings

• Time to Live (TTL) settings

• Point in time recovery settings

Name of the source table that is being restored.

type TargetTableName

string

param TargetTableName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the new table to which it must be restored to.

type UseLatestRestorableTime

boolean

param UseLatestRestorableTime

Restore the table to the latest possible time. LatestRestorableDateTime is typically 5 minutes before the current time.

type RestoreDateTime

datetime

param RestoreDateTime

Time in the past to restore the table to.

type BillingModeOverride

string

param BillingModeOverride

The billing mode of the restored table.

type GlobalSecondaryIndexOverride

list

param GlobalSecondaryIndexOverride

List of global secondary indexes for the restored table. The indexes provided should match existing secondary indexes. You can choose to exclude some or all of the indexes at the time of restore.

• (dict) --

  Represents the properties of a global secondary index.

  • IndexName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The name of the global secondary index. The name must be unique among all other indexes on this table.

  • KeySchema (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    The complete key schema for a global secondary index, which consists of one or more pairs of attribute names and key types:

    • HASH - partition key

    • RANGE - sort key

    Note

    The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

    The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

    • (dict) --

      Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.

      A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.

      A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.

      • AttributeName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The name of a key attribute.

      • KeyType (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The role that this key attribute will assume:

        • HASH - partition key

        • RANGE - sort key

        Note

        The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

        The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

  • Projection (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

    Represents attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the global secondary index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected.

    • ProjectionType (string) --

      The set of attributes that are projected into the index:

      • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

      • INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY , the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.

      • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

    • NonKeyAttributes (list) --

      Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.

      For local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the local secondary indexes, must not exceed 20. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

      • (string) --

  • ProvisionedThroughput (dict) --

    Represents the provisioned throughput settings for the specified global secondary index.

    For current minimum and maximum provisioned throughput values, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      If read/write capacity mode is PAY_PER_REQUEST the value is set to 0.

    • WriteCapacityUnits (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

      The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException . For more information, see Specifying Read and Write Requirements in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      If read/write capacity mode is PAY_PER_REQUEST the value is set to 0.

type LocalSecondaryIndexOverride

list

param LocalSecondaryIndexOverride

List of local secondary indexes for the restored table. The indexes provided should match existing secondary indexes. You can choose to exclude some or all of the indexes at the time of restore.

• (dict) --

  Represents the properties of a local secondary index.

  • IndexName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The name of the local secondary index. The name must be unique among all other indexes on this table.

  • KeySchema (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    The complete key schema for the local secondary index, consisting of one or more pairs of attribute names and key types:

    • HASH - partition key

    • RANGE - sort key

      The primary key structure for the table. Each KeySchemaElement consists of:

      • AttributeName - The name of the attribute.

      • KeyType - The role of the attribute:

        • HASH - partition key

        • RANGE - sort key

      Note

      The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

      The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

      For more information about primary keys, see Primary Key in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

      • (dict) --

        Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.

        A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.

        A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.

        • AttributeName (string) --

          The name of a key attribute.

Each element is composed of:

      • IndexName - The name of the local secondary index.

      • KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.

          Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

          You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false.

    • LatestStreamLabel (string) --

      A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.

      Note that LatestStreamLabel is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:

{'GlobalTableDescription': {'ReplicationGroup': {'ReplicaStatus': {'INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS'}}}}

Adds or removes replicas in the specified global table. The global table must already exist to be able to use this operation. Any replica to be added must be empty, have the same name as the global table, have the same key schema, have DynamoDB Streams enabled, and have the same provisioned and maximum write capacity units.

If global secondary indexes are specified, then the following conditions must also be met:

• The global secondary indexes must have the same name.

• The global secondary indexes must have the same hash key and sort key (if present).

• The global secondary indexes must have the same provisioned and maximum write capacity units.

              • DisableScaleIn (boolean) --

                Indicates whether scale in by the target tracking policy is disabled. If the value is true, scale in is disabled and the target tracking policy won't remove capacity from the scalable resource. Otherwise, scale in is enabled and the target tracking policy can remove capacity from the scalable resource. The default value is false.

              • ScaleInCooldown (integer) --

                The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale in activity completes before another scale in activity can start. The cooldown period is used to block subsequent scale in requests until it has expired. You should scale in conservatively to protect your application's availability. However, if another alarm triggers a scale out policy during the cooldown period after a scale-in, application auto scaling scales out your scalable target immediately.

                The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale out activity completes before another scale out activity can start. While the cooldown period is in effect, the capacity that has been added by the previous scale out event that initiated the cooldown is calculated as part of the desired capacity for the next scale out. You should continuously (but not excessively) scale out.

              • TargetValue (float) --

                The target value for the metric. The range is 8.515920e-109 to 1.174271e+108 (Base 10) or 2e-360 to 2e360 (Base 2).
