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.

N - the attribute is of type Number
B - the attribute is of type Binary
string
[REQUIRED]

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
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 .

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.

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.
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.

IndexStatus (string) --
The current state of the global secondary index:
CREATING - The index is being created.
UPDATING - The index is being updated.

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.

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.
TimeToLiveDescription (dict) --
Time to Live settings on the table when the backup was created.
TimeToLiveStatus (string) --
The TTL status for the table.
AttributeName (string) --
The name of the TTL attribute for items in the table.

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.
Note
DynamoDB might continue to accept data read and write operations, such as GetItem and PutItem , on a table in the DELETING state until the table deletion is complete.
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.

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

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.

AWS_BACKUP - On-demand backup created by you from AWS Backup service.
BackupCreationDateTime (datetime) --
Time at which the backup was created. This is the request time of the backup.
BackupExpiryDateTime (datetime) --
Time at which the automatic on-demand backup created by DynamoDB will expire. This SYSTEM on-demand backup expires automatically 35 days after its creation.

Returns information about the table, including the current status of the table, when it was created, the primary key schema, and any indexes on the table.
Note
If you issue a DescribeTable request immediately after a CreateTable request, DynamoDB might return a ResourceNotFoundException . This is because DescribeTable uses an eventually consistent query, and the metadata for your table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then try the DescribeTable request again.

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.
IndexStatus - The current status 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.
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 - 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.
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
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) --
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) --
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 - 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 (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 Limits in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

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 Limits 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.

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.

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 local 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 - 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 (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) --
dict
Provisioned throughput settings for the restored table.
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.

string
[REQUIRED]
Name of the source table that is being restored.
string
[REQUIRED]
The name of the new table to which it must be restored to.
boolean
Restore the table to the latest possible time. LatestRestorableDateTime is typically 5 minutes before the current time.
datetime
Time in the past to restore the table to.
string
The billing mode of the restored table.
list
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

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 (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 Limits in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .
ReadCapacityUnits (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

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.

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.

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.
Enable or disable DynamoDB Streams on 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 is executing, the table status changes from ACTIVE to UPDATING . While it is UPDATING , you cannot issue another UpdateTable request. When the table returns to the ACTIVE state, the UpdateTable operation is complete.

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) --
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 - 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 (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) --
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.
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.
IndexStatus - The current status 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.
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 - 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.
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
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) --
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) --
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 - 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 (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 Limits in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .
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 Limits 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:

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).
ProvisionedWriteCapacityAutoScalingSettings (dict) --
Represents the auto scaling settings for a global table or global secondary index.
MinimumUnits (integer) --
The minimum capacity units that a global table or global secondary index should be scaled down to.
MaximumUnits (integer) --
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.
AutoScalingRoleArn (string) --
Role ARN used for configuring the auto scaling policy.
ScalingPolicies (list) --
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).
