/**
 * Interface for accessing AmazonDynamoDBv2.
 * Amazon DynamoDB 

* This is the Amazon DynamoDB API Reference. This guide provides * descriptions of the low-level DynamoDB API. *

*

* This guide is intended for use with the following DynamoDB * documentation: *

* * *

* Instead of making the requests to the low-level DynamoDB API directly * from your application, we recommend that you use the AWS Software * Development Kits (SDKs). The easy-to-use libraries in the AWS SDKs * make it unnecessary to call the low-level DynamoDB API directly from * your application. The libraries take care of request authentication, * serialization, and connection management. For more information, see * Using the AWS SDKs with DynamoDB * in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. *

*

* If you decide to code against the low-level DynamoDB API directly, you * will need to write the necessary code to authenticate your requests. * For more information on signing your requests, see * Using the DynamoDB API * in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide . *

*

* The following are short descriptions of each low-level API action, * organized by function. *

*

* Managing Tables *

* *
    *
  • * CreateTable - Creates a table with user-specified provisioned * throughput settings. You must define a primary key for the table - * either a simple primary key (partition key), or a composite primary * key (partition key and sort key). Optionally, you can create one or * more secondary indexes, which provide fast data access using non-key * attributes. *

    *
  • *
  • * DescribeTable - Returns metadata for a table, such as table * size, status, and index information. *

    *
  • *
  • * UpdateTable - Modifies the provisioned throughput settings for * a table. Optionally, you can modify the provisioned throughput * settings for global secondary indexes on the table. *

    *
  • *
  • * ListTables - Returns a list of all tables associated with the * current AWS account and endpoint. *

    *
  • *
  • * DeleteTable - Deletes a table and all of its indexes. *

    *
  • * *
*

* For conceptual information about managing tables, see * Working with Tables * in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide . *

*

* Reading Data *

* *
    *
  • * GetItem - Returns a set of attributes for the item that has a * given primary key. By default, GetItem performs an eventually * consistent read; however, applications can request a strongly * consistent read instead. *

    *
  • *
  • * BatchGetItem - Performs multiple GetItem requests for * data items using their primary keys, from one table or multiple * tables. The response from BatchGetItem has a size limit of 16 * MB and returns a maximum of 100 items. Both eventually consistent and * strongly consistent reads can be used. *

    *
  • *
  • * Query - Returns one or more items from a table or a secondary * index. You must provide a specific value for the partition key. You * can narrow the scope of the query using comparison operators against a * sort key value, or on the index key. Query supports either * eventual or strong consistency. A single response has a size limit of * 1 MB. *

    *
  • *
  • * Scan - Reads every item in a table; the result set is * eventually consistent. You can limit the number of items returned by * filtering the data attributes, using conditional expressions. * Scan can be used to enable ad-hoc querying of a table against * non-key attributes; however, since this is a full table scan without * using an index, Scan should not be used for any application * query use case that requires predictable performance. *

    *
  • * *
*

* For conceptual information about reading data, see * Working with Items and Query and Scan Operations * in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide . *

*

* Modifying Data *

* *
    *
  • * PutItem - Creates a new item, or replaces an existing item * with a new item (including all the attributes). By default, if an item * in the table already exists with the same primary key, the new item * completely replaces the existing item. You can use conditional * operators to replace an item only if its attribute values match * certain conditions, or to insert a new item only if that item doesn't * already exist. *

    *
  • *
  • * UpdateItem - Modifies the attributes of an existing item. You * can also use conditional operators to perform an update only if the * item's attribute values match certain conditions. *

    *
  • *
  • * DeleteItem - Deletes an item in a table by primary key. You * can use conditional operators to perform a delete an item only if the * item's attribute values match certain conditions. *

    *
  • *
  • * BatchWriteItem - Performs multiple PutItem and * DeleteItem requests across multiple tables in a single request. * A failure of any request(s) in the batch will not cause the entire * BatchWriteItem operation to fail. Supports batches of up to 25 * items to put or delete, with a maximum total request size of 16 MB. *

    *
  • * *
*

* For conceptual information about modifying data, see * Working with Items and Query and Scan Operations * in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide . *

*

* 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.

* The Scan operation returns one or more items and item * attributes by accessing every item in a table or a secondary index. To * have DynamoDB return fewer items, you can provide a ScanFilter * operation. *

*

The results also include the number of items * exceeding the limit. A scan can result in no table data meeting the * filter criteria. *

*

* By default, Scan operations proceed sequentially; however, for * faster performance on a large table or secondary index, applications * can request a parallel Scan operation by providing the * Segment and TotalSegments parameters.

* Returns the current provisioned-capacity limits for your AWS account * in a region, both for the region as a whole and for any one DynamoDB * table that you create there. *

*

* When you establish an AWS account, the account has initial limits on * the maximum read capacity units and write capacity units that you can * provision across all of your DynamoDB tables in a given region. Also, * there are per-table limits that apply when you create a table there. * For more information, see * Limits * page in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide . *

*

* Although you can increase these limits by filing a case at * AWS Support Center * , obtaining the increase is not instantaneous. The * DescribeLimits API lets you write code to compare the capacity * you are currently using to those limits imposed by your account so * that you have enough time to apply for an increase before you hit a * limit. *

*

* For example, you could use one of the AWS SDKs to do the following: *

*
  1. Call DescribeLimits for a particular region to obtain * your current account limits on provisioned capacity there.
  2. *
  3. Create a variable to hold the aggregate read capacity units * provisioned for all your tables in that region, and one to hold the * aggregate write capacity units. Zero them both.
  4. *
  5. Call ListTables to obtain a list of all your DynamoDB * tables.
  6. *
  7. * For each table name listed by ListTables , do the following: *

    * *
      *
    • Call DescribeTable with the table name.
    • *
    • Use the data returned by DescribeTable to add the read * capacity units and write capacity units provisioned for the table * itself to your variables.
    • *
    • If the table has one or more global secondary indexes (GSIs), * loop over these GSIs and add their provisioned capacity values to your * variables as well.
    • * *
    *
  8. *
  9. Report the account limits for that region returned by * DescribeLimits , along with the total current provisioned * capacity levels you have calculated.
  10. *

* This will let you see whether you are getting close to your * account-level limits. *

*

* The per-table limits apply only when you are creating a new table. * They restrict the sum of the provisioned capacity of the new table * itself and all its global secondary indexes. *

*

* For existing tables and their GSIs, DynamoDB will not let you * increase provisioned capacity extremely rapidly, but the only upper * limit that applies is that the aggregate provisioned capacity over all * your tables and GSIs cannot exceed either of the per-account limits. *

*

* NOTE: DescribeLimits should only be called periodically. You * can expect throttling errors if you call it more than once in a * minute. *

For example * if a network connection is not available. * @throws AmazonServiceException * If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating * either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue. */ public DescribeLimitsResult describeLimits(DescribeLimitsRequest describeLimitsRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException; /** *

* The BatchGetItem operation returns the attributes of one or * more items from one or more tables. You identify requested items by * primary key. *

*

* A single operation can retrieve up to 16 MB of data, which can * contain as many as 100 items. BatchGetItem will return a * partial result if the response size limit is exceeded, the table's * provisioned throughput is exceeded, or an internal processing failure * occurs. If a partial result is returned, the operation returns a value * for UnprocessedKeys . You can use this value to retry the * operation starting with the next item to get. *

*

* IMPORTANT: If you request more than 100 items BatchGetItem * will return a ValidationException with the message "Too many items * requested for the BatchGetItem call". *

*

* For example, if you ask to retrieve 100 items, but each individual * item is 300 KB in size, the system returns 52 items (so as not to * exceed the 16 MB limit). It also returns an appropriate * UnprocessedKeys value so you can get the next page of results. * If desired, your application can include its own logic to assemble the * pages of results into one data set. *

*

* If none of the items can be processed due to insufficient * provisioned throughput on all of the tables in the request, then * BatchGetItem will return a * ProvisionedThroughputExceededException . If at least one * of the items is successfully processed, then BatchGetItem * completes successfully, while returning the keys of the unread items * in UnprocessedKeys . *

*

* IMPORTANT: If DynamoDB returns any unprocessed items, you * should retry the batch operation on those items. However, we strongly * recommend that you use an exponential backoff algorithm. If you retry * the batch operation immediately, the underlying read or write requests * can still fail due to throttling on the individual tables. If you * delay the batch operation using exponential backoff, the individual * requests in the batch are much more likely to succeed. For more * information, see Batch Operations and Error Handling in the Amazon * DynamoDB Developer Guide. *

*

* By default, BatchGetItem performs eventually consistent reads * on every table in the request. If you want strongly consistent reads * instead, you can set ConsistentRead to true for * any or all tables. *

*

* In order to minimize response latency, BatchGetItem retrieves * items in parallel. *

*

* When designing your application, keep in mind that DynamoDB does not * return attributes in any particular order. To help parse the response * by item, include the primary key values for the items in your request * in the AttributesToGet parameter. *

*

* If a requested item does not exist, it is not returned in the result. * Requests for nonexistent items consume the minimum read capacity units * according to the type of read. For more information, see * Capacity Units Calculations * in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide . *

* The BatchWriteItem operation puts or deletes multiple items in * one or more tables. A single call to BatchWriteItem can write * up to 16 MB of data, which can comprise as many as 25 put or delete * requests. Individual items to be written can be as large as 400 KB. *

*

* NOTE: BatchWriteItem cannot update items. To update items, use * the UpdateItem API. *

*

* The individual PutItem and DeleteItem operations * specified in BatchWriteItem are atomic; however * BatchWriteItem as a whole is not. If any requested operations * fail because the table's provisioned throughput is exceeded or an * internal processing failure occurs, the failed operations are returned * in the UnprocessedItems response parameter. You can investigate * and optionally resend the requests. Typically, you would call * BatchWriteItem in a loop. Each iteration would check for * unprocessed items and submit a new BatchWriteItem request with * those unprocessed items until all items have been processed. *

*

* Note that if none of the items can be processed due to * insufficient provisioned throughput on all of the tables in the * request, then BatchWriteItem will return a * ProvisionedThroughputExceededException . *

*

* IMPORTANT: If DynamoDB returns any unprocessed items, you * should retry the batch operation on those items. However, we strongly * recommend that you use an exponential backoff algorithm. If you retry * the batch operation immediately, the underlying read or write requests * can still fail due to throttling on the individual tables. If you * delay the batch operation using exponential backoff, the individual * requests in the batch are much more likely to succeed. For more * information, see Batch Operations and Error Handling in the Amazon * DynamoDB Developer Guide. *

*

* With BatchWriteItem , you can efficiently write or delete * large amounts of data, such as from Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR), or * copy data from another database into DynamoDB. In order to improve * performance with these large-scale operations, BatchWriteItem * does not behave in the same way as individual PutItem and * DeleteItem calls would. For example, you cannot specify * conditions on individual put and delete requests, and * BatchWriteItem does not return deleted items in the response. *

*

* If you use a programming language that supports concurrency, you can * use threads to write items in parallel. Your application must include * the necessary logic to manage the threads. With languages that don't * support threading, you must update or delete the specified items one * at a time. In both situations, BatchWriteItem provides an * alternative where the API performs the specified put and delete * operations in parallel, giving you the power of the thread pool * approach without having to introduce complexity into your application. *

*

* Parallel processing reduces latency, but each specified put and * delete request consumes the same number of write capacity units * whether it is processed in parallel or not. Delete operations on * nonexistent items consume one write capacity unit. *

*

* If one or more of the following is true, DynamoDB rejects the entire * batch write operation: *

* *
    *
  • * One or more tables specified in the BatchWriteItem request * does not exist. *

    *
  • *
  • * Primary key attributes specified on an item in the request do not * match those in the corresponding table's primary key schema. *

    *
  • *
  • * You try to perform multiple operations on the same item in the same * BatchWriteItem request. For example, you cannot put and delete * the same item in the same BatchWriteItem request. *

    *

* Returns the current provisioned-capacity limits for your AWS account * in a region, both for the region as a whole and for any one DynamoDB * table that you create there. *

* When you establish an AWS account, the account has initial limits on * the maximum read capacity units and write capacity units that you can * provision across all of your DynamoDB tables in a given region. Also, * there are per-table limits that apply when you create a table there. * For more information, see * Limits * page in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide . *

*

* Although you can increase these limits by filing a case at * AWS Support Center * , obtaining the increase is not instantaneous. The * DescribeLimits API lets you write code to compare the capacity * you are currently using to those limits imposed by your account so * that you have enough time to apply for an increase before you hit a * limit. *

*

* For example, you could use one of the AWS SDKs to do the following: *

*
  1. Call DescribeLimits for a particular region to obtain * your current account limits on provisioned capacity there.
  2. *
  3. Create a variable to hold the aggregate read capacity units * provisioned for all your tables in that region, and one to hold the * aggregate write capacity units. Zero them both.
  4. *
  5. Call ListTables to obtain a list of all your DynamoDB * tables.
  6. *
  7. * For each table name listed by ListTables , do the following: *

    * *
      *
    • Call DescribeTable with the table name.
    • *
    • Use the data returned by DescribeTable to add the read * capacity units and write capacity units provisioned for the table * itself to your variables.
    • *
    • If the table has one or more global secondary indexes (GSIs), * loop over these GSIs and add their provisioned capacity values to your * variables as well.
    • * *
    *
  8. *
  9. Report the account limits for that region returned by * DescribeLimits , along with the total current provisioned * capacity levels you have calculated.
  10. *

* This will let you see whether you are getting close to your * account-level limits. *

*

* The per-table limits apply only when you are creating a new table. * They restrict the sum of the provisioned capacity of the new table * itself and all its global secondary indexes. *

*

* For existing tables and their GSIs, DynamoDB will not let you * increase provisioned capacity extremely rapidly, but the only upper * limit that applies is that the aggregate provisioned capacity over all * your tables and GSIs cannot exceed either of the per-account limits. *

  • ConsistentRead - If * true, a strongly consistent read is used; if * false (the default), an eventually consistent read is * used.

  • ExpressionAttributeNames - One or more * substitution tokens for attribute names in the * ProjectionExpression parameter. The following are some use * cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

    • To * access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved * word.

    • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences * of an attribute name in an expression.

    • To prevent * special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in * an expression.

    Use the # character in an * expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the * following attribute name:

    • Percentile

    *

    The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it * cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of * reserved words, see Reserved * Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work * around this, you could specify the following for * ExpressionAttributeNames: *

    • {"#P":"Percentile"}

    You could * then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example: *

    • #P = :val

    Tokens that begin * with the : character are expression attribute values, * which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.

    For * more information on expression attribute names, see Accessing * Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. *

  • Keys - An array of primary key attribute values * that define specific items in the table. For each primary key, you * must provide all of the key attributes. For example, with a * simple primary key, you only need to provide the partition key value. * For a composite key, you must provide both the partition key * value and the sort key value.

  • *

    ProjectionExpression - A string that identifies one or more * attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include * scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the * expression must be separated by commas.

    If no attribute names are * specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the * requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the * result.

* When designing your application, keep in mind that DynamoDB does not * return attributes in any particular order. To help parse the response * by item, include the primary key values for the items in your request * in the AttributesToGet parameter. *

*

* If a requested item does not exist, it is not returned in the result. * Requests for nonexistent items consume the minimum read capacity units * according to the type of read. For more information, see * Capacity Units Calculations * in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide . *

* * @param requestItems A map of one or more table names and, for each * table, a map that describes one or more items to retrieve from that * table. Each table name can be used only once per BatchGetItem * request.

Each element in the map of items to retrieve consists of * the following:

  • ConsistentRead - If * true, a strongly consistent read is used; if * false (the default), an eventually consistent read is * used.

  • ExpressionAttributeNames - One or more * substitution tokens for attribute names in the * ProjectionExpression parameter. The following are some use * cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

    • To * access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved * word.

    • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences * of an attribute name in an expression.

    • To prevent * special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in * an expression.

    Use the # character in an * expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the * following attribute name:

    • Percentile

    *

    The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it * cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of * reserved words, see Reserved * Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work * around this, you could specify the following for * ExpressionAttributeNames: *

    • {"#P":"Percentile"}

    You could * then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example: *

    • #P = :val

    Tokens that begin * with the : character are expression attribute values, * which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.

    For * more information on expression attribute names, see Accessing * Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. *

  • Keys - An array of primary key attribute values * that define specific items in the table. For each primary key, you * must provide all of the key attributes. For example, with a * simple primary key, you only need to provide the partition key value. * For a composite key, you must provide both the partition key * value and the sort key value.

  • *

    ProjectionExpression - A string that identifies one or more * attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include * scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the * expression must be separated by commas.

    If no attribute names are * specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the * requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the * result.

    For more information, see Accessing * Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. *

  • AttributesToGet -

    This is a * legacy parameter, for backward compatibility. New applications should * use ProjectionExpression instead. Do not combine legacy * parameters and expression parameters in a single API call; otherwise, * DynamoDB will return a ValidationException exception.

    This * parameter allows you to retrieve attributes of type List or Map; * however, it cannot retrieve individual elements within a List or a * Map.

    The names of one or more attributes to retrieve. * If no attribute names are provided, then all attributes will be * returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will * not appear in the result.

    Note that AttributesToGet has no * effect on provisioned throughput consumption. DynamoDB determines * capacity units consumed based on item size, not on the amount of data * that is returned to an application.

* The BatchWriteItem operation puts or deletes multiple items in * one or more tables. A single call to BatchWriteItem can write * up to 16 MB of data, which can comprise as many as 25 put or delete * requests. Individual items to be written can be as large as 400 KB. *

*

* NOTE: BatchWriteItem cannot update items. To update items, use * the UpdateItem API. *

*

* The individual PutItem and DeleteItem operations * specified in BatchWriteItem are atomic; however * BatchWriteItem as a whole is not. If any requested operations * fail because the table's provisioned throughput is exceeded or an * internal processing failure occurs, the failed operations are returned * in the UnprocessedItems response parameter. You can investigate * and optionally resend the requests. Typically, you would call * BatchWriteItem in a loop. Each iteration would check for * unprocessed items and submit a new BatchWriteItem request with * those unprocessed items until all items have been processed. *

*

* Note that if none of the items can be processed due to * insufficient provisioned throughput on all of the tables in the * request, then BatchWriteItem will return a * ProvisionedThroughputExceededException . *

*

* IMPORTANT: If DynamoDB returns any unprocessed items, you * should retry the batch operation on those items. However, we strongly * recommend that you use an exponential backoff algorithm. If you retry * the batch operation immediately, the underlying read or write requests * can still fail due to throttling on the individual tables. If you * delay the batch operation using exponential backoff, the individual * requests in the batch are much more likely to succeed. For more * information, see Batch Operations and Error Handling in the Amazon * DynamoDB Developer Guide. *

*

* With BatchWriteItem , you can efficiently write or delete * large amounts of data, such as from Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR), or * copy data from another database into DynamoDB. In order to improve * performance with these large-scale operations, BatchWriteItem * does not behave in the same way as individual PutItem and * DeleteItem calls would. For example, you cannot specify * conditions on individual put and delete requests, and * BatchWriteItem does not return deleted items in the response. *

*

* If you use a programming language that supports concurrency, you can * use threads to write items in parallel. Your application must include * the necessary logic to manage the threads. With languages that don't * support threading, you must update or delete the specified items one * at a time. In both situations, BatchWriteItem provides an * alternative where the API performs the specified put and delete * operations in parallel, giving you the power of the thread pool * approach without having to introduce complexity into your application. *

*

* Parallel processing reduces latency, but each specified put and * delete request consumes the same number of write capacity units * whether it is processed in parallel or not. Delete operations on * nonexistent items consume one write capacity unit. *

*

* If one or more of the following is true, DynamoDB rejects the entire * batch write operation: *

* *
    *
  • * One or more tables specified in the BatchWriteItem request * does not exist. *

    *

  • * Primary key attributes specified on an item in the request do not * match those in the corresponding table's primary key schema. *

        If you use ADD to increment or decrement a * number value for an item that doesn't exist before the update, * DynamoDB uses 0 as the initial value.

        Similarly, if you use * ADD for an existing item to increment or decrement an * attribute value that doesn't exist before the update, DynamoDB uses * 0 as the initial value. For example, suppose that the * item you want to update doesn't have an attribute named * itemcount, but you decide to ADD the number * 3 to this attribute anyway.

        Similarly, if you use * ADD for an existing item to increment or decrement an * attribute value that doesn't exist before the update, DynamoDB uses * 0 as the initial value. For example, suppose that the * item you want to update doesn't have an attribute named * itemcount, but you decide to ADD the number * 3 to this attribute anyway. DynamoDB will create the * itemcount attribute, set its initial value to 0, * and finally add 3 to it. The result will be a new * itemcount attribute, with a value of 3. *

      • If the existing data type is a set, and if Value * is also a set, then Value is appended to the existing set. For * example, if the attribute value is the set [1,2], and the * ADD action specified [3], then the final * attribute value is [1,2,3]. An error occurs if an * ADD action is specified for a set attribute and the * attribute type specified does not match the existing set type.

        Both * sets must have the same primitive data type. For example, if the * existing data type is a set of strings, Value must also be a * set of strings.

    If no item with the * specified key is found in the table, the following values perform the * following actions:

    • PUT - Causes DynamoDB to * create a new item with the specified primary key, and then adds the * attribute.

    • DELETE - Nothing happens, * because attributes cannot be deleted from a nonexistent item. The * operation succeeds, but DynamoDB does not create a new item.

    • *
    • ADD - Causes DynamoDB to create an item with the * supplied primary key and number (or set of numbers) for the attribute * value. The only data types allowed are Number and Number Set.

    • *

If you provide any attributes that are part of an * index key, then the data types for those attributes must match those * of the schema in the table's attribute definition. * @param returnValues Use ReturnValues if you want to get the * item attributes as they appeared either before or after they were * updated. For UpdateItem, the valid values are:

  • *

    NONE - If ReturnValues is not specified, or if * its value is NONE, then nothing is returned. (This * setting is the default for ReturnValues.)

  • *

    ALL_OLD - If UpdateItem overwrote an attribute * name-value pair, then the content of the old item is returned.

  • *
  • UPDATED_OLD - The old versions of only the * updated attributes are returned.

  • ALL_NEW - * All of the attributes of the new version of the item are returned. *

  • UPDATED_NEW - The new versions of only the * updated attributes are returned.
