2025/06/30 - Amazon DynamoDB - 13 updated api methods
Changes This change adds support for witnesses in global tables. It also adds a new table status, REPLICATION_NOT_AUTHORIZED. This status will indicate scenarios where global replicas table can't be utilized for data plane operations.
{'GlobalTableDescription': {'ReplicationGroup': {'ReplicaStatus': {'ARCHIVED', 'ARCHIVING', 'REPLICATION_NOT_AUTHORIZED'}, 'WarmThroughput': {'Status': {'REPLICATION_NOT_AUTHORIZED'}}}}}
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).

The CreateTable operation adds a new table to your account. In an Amazon Web Services 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 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
string
[REQUIRED]
The name of the table to create. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.
list
[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
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.
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
list
One or more local secondary indexes (the maximum is 5) to be created on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. There is a 10 GB size limit per partition key value; otherwise, the size of a local secondary index is unconstrained.
Each local secondary index in the array includes the following:
IndexName - The name of the local secondary index. Must be unique only for this table.
KeySchema - Specifies the key schema for the local secondary index. 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 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.

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

The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.
ProvisionedThroughput - The provisioned throughput settings for the global secondary index, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.

STRONG: Indicates that the global table is configured for multi-Region strong consistency (MRSC).
If you don't specify this field, the global table consistency mode defaults to EVENTUAL. For more information about global tables consistency modes, see Consistency modes in DynamoDB developer guide.
{'TableDescription': {'GlobalTableWitnesses': [{'RegionName': 'string', 'WitnessStatus': 'CREATING | ' 'DELETING | ' 'ACTIVE'}], 'Replicas': {'ReplicaStatus': {'ARCHIVED', 'ARCHIVING', 'REPLICATION_NOT_AUTHORIZED'}, 'WarmThroughput': {'Status': {'REPLICATION_NOT_AUTHORIZED'}}}, 'TableStatus': {'REPLICATION_NOT_AUTHORIZED'}, 'WarmThroughput': {'Status': {'REPLICATION_NOT_AUTHORIZED'}}}}
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.

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
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
TableStatus (string) --
The current state of the table:
CREATING - The table is being created.
UPDATING - The table/index configuration is being updated. The table/index remains available for data operations when UPDATING.
DELETING - The table is being deleted.
ACTIVE - The table is ready for use.
INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The KMS key used to encrypt the table in inaccessible. Table operations may fail due to failure to use the KMS key. DynamoDB will initiate the table archival process when a table's 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) --

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 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE.

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 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.
ProvisionedThroughput - The provisioned throughput settings for the global secondary index, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.

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 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
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
TableStatus (string) --

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 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.
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.

(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.

When using the DynamoDB console, ALL is selected by default.
NonKeyAttributes (list) --
Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.
For global and local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100.

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.)

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

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 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.

(dict) --
Represents the properties of the scaling policy.
PolicyName (string) --
The name of the scaling policy.
TargetTrackingScalingPolicyConfiguration (dict) --
Represents a target tracking scaling policy configuration.
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.
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).

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 - 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 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.
ProvisionedThroughput - The provisioned throughput settings for the global secondary index, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.
If the table is in the DELETING state, no information about indexes will be returned.
(dict) --
Represents the properties of a global secondary index.
IndexName (string) --
The name of the global secondary index.
KeySchema (list) --
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
(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
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.
When using the DynamoDB console, ALL is selected by default.
NonKeyAttributes (list) --
Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.
For global and local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.

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.

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
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
TableStatus (string) --

DELETING - The table is being deleted.
ACTIVE - The table is ready for use.
INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The KMS key used to encrypt the table in inaccessible. Table operations may fail due to failure to use the KMS key. DynamoDB will initiate the table archival process when a table's 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.

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.

The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.

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 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.
ProvisionedThroughput - The provisioned throughput settings for the global secondary index, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.

The maximum capacity units that a global table or global secondary index should be scaled up to.
AutoScalingDisabled (boolean) --
Disabled auto scaling for this global table or global secondary index.

Information about the scaling policies.
(dict) --
Represents the properties of the scaling policy.
PolicyName (string) --
The name of the scaling policy.
TargetTrackingScalingPolicyConfiguration (dict) --
Represents a target tracking scaling policy configuration.
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.
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).

Modifies the provisioned throughput settings, global secondary indexes, or DynamoDB Streams settings for a given table.
You can only perform one of the following operations at once:
Modify the provisioned throughput settings of the table.
Remove a global secondary index from the table.
Create a new global secondary index on the table. After the index begins backfilling, you can use UpdateTable to perform other operations.
UpdateTable is an asynchronous operation; while it's executing, the table status changes from ACTIVE to UPDATING. While it's UPDATING, you can't issue another UpdateTable request. When the table returns to the ACTIVE state, the UpdateTable operation is complete.

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
TableStatus (string) --
The current state of the table:
CREATING - The table is being created.
UPDATING - The table/index configuration is being updated. The table/index remains available for data operations when UPDATING.
DELETING - The table is being deleted.
ACTIVE - The table is ready for use.
INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The KMS key used to encrypt the table in inaccessible. Table operations may fail due to failure to use the KMS key. DynamoDB will initiate the table archival process when a table's 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 total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE.

The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.
