Amazon DynamoDB Overview

This is the Amazon DynamoDB API Reference. This guide provides descriptions and samples of the low-level DynamoDB API. For information about DynamoDB application development, go to the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

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, go to 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, go to Using the DynamoDB API in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

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

Method Detail

scan

public ScanResult scan(ScanRequest scanRequest)

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

If the total number of scanned items exceeds the maximum data set size limit of 1 MB, the scan stops and results are returned to the user with a LastEvaluatedKey to continue the scan in a subsequent operation. The results also include the number of items exceeding the limit. A scan can result in no table data meeting the filter criteria.

The result set is eventually consistent.

By default, Scan operations proceed sequentially; however, for faster performance on large tables, applications can request a parallel Scan by specifying the Segment and TotalSegments parameters. For more information, see Parallel Scan in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Specified by:
scan in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
scanRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the Scan service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Returns:
The response from the Scan service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceNotFoundException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

updateTable

public UpdateTableResult updateTable(UpdateTableRequest updateTableRequest)

Updates the provisioned throughput for the given table. Setting the throughput for a table helps you manage performance and is part of the provisioned throughput feature of DynamoDB.

The provisioned throughput values can be upgraded or downgraded based on the maximums and minimums listed in the Limits section in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

The table must be in the ACTIVE state for this operation to succeed. UpdateTable is an asynchronous operation; while executing the operation, the table is in the UPDATING state. While the table is in the UPDATING state, the table still has the provisioned throughput from before the call. The new provisioned throughput setting is in effect only when the table returns to the ACTIVE state after the UpdateTable operation.

You cannot add, modify or delete indexes using UpdateTable . Indexes can only be defined at table creation time.

Specified by:
updateTable in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
updateTableRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the UpdateTable service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Returns:
The response from the UpdateTable service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceInUseException
ResourceNotFoundException
LimitExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

deleteTable

public DeleteTableResult deleteTable(DeleteTableRequest deleteTableRequest)

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.

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

Specified by:
deleteTable in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
deleteTableRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the DeleteTable service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Returns:
The response from the DeleteTable service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceInUseException
ResourceNotFoundException
LimitExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

batchWriteItem

public BatchWriteItemResult batchWriteItem(BatchWriteItemRequest batchWriteItemRequest)

The BatchWriteItem operation puts or deletes multiple items in one or more tables. A single call to BatchWriteItem can write up to 1 MB of data, which can comprise as many as 25 put or delete requests. Individual items to be written can be as large as 64 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 BatchGetItem will throw a ProvisionedThroughputExceededException .

To write one item, you can use the PutItem operation; to delete one item, you can use the DeleteItem operation.

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, such as Java, 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, such as PHP, 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:

Specified by:
batchWriteItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
batchWriteItemRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the BatchWriteItem service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Returns:
The response from the BatchWriteItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException
ResourceNotFoundException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

describeTable

public DescribeTableResult describeTable(DescribeTableRequest describeTableRequest)

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.

Specified by:
describeTable in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
describeTableRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the DescribeTable service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Returns:
The response from the DescribeTable service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceNotFoundException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

getItem

public GetItemResult getItem(GetItemRequest getItemRequest)

The GetItem operation returns a set of attributes for the item with the given primary key. If there is no matching item, GetItem does not return any data.

GetItem provides an eventually consistent read by default. If your application requires a strongly consistent read, set ConsistentRead to true . Although a strongly consistent read might take more time than an eventually consistent read, it always returns the last updated value.

Specified by:
getItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
getItemRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the GetItem service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Returns:
The response from the GetItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceNotFoundException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

deleteItem

public DeleteItemResult deleteItem(DeleteItemRequest deleteItemRequest)

Deletes a single item in a table by primary key. You can perform a conditional delete operation that deletes the item if it exists, or if it has an expected attribute value.

In addition to deleting an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues parameter.

Unless you specify conditions, the DeleteItem is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same item or attribute does not result in an error response.

Conditional deletes are useful for only deleting items if specific conditions are met. If those conditions are met, DynamoDB performs the delete. Otherwise, the item is not deleted.

Specified by:
deleteItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
deleteItemRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the DeleteItem service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Returns:
The response from the DeleteItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException
ResourceNotFoundException
ConditionalCheckFailedException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

createTable

public CreateTableResult createTable(CreateTableRequest createTableRequest)

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.

If you want to create multiple tables with secondary indexes on them, you must create them sequentially. Only one table with secondary indexes can be in the CREATING state at any given time.

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

Specified by:
createTable in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
createTableRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the CreateTable service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Returns:
The response from the CreateTable service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceInUseException
LimitExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

query

public QueryResult query(QueryRequest queryRequest)

A Query operation directly accesses items from a table using the table primary key, or from an index using the index key. You must provide a specific hash key value. You can narrow the scope of the query by using comparison operators on the range key value, or on the index key. You can use the ScanIndexForward parameter to get results in forward or reverse order, by range key or by index key.

Queries that do not return results consume the minimum read capacity units according to the type of read.

If the total number of items meeting the query criteria exceeds the result set size limit of 1 MB, the query stops and results are returned to the user with a LastEvaluatedKey to continue the query in a subsequent operation. Unlike a Scan operation, a Query operation never returns an empty result set and a LastEvaluatedKey . The LastEvaluatedKey is only provided if the results exceed 1 MB, or if you have used Limit .

You can query a table, a local secondary index, or a global secondary index. For a query on a table or on a local secondary index, you can set ConsistentRead to true and obtain a strongly consistent result. Global secondary indexes support eventually consistent reads only, so do not specify ConsistentRead when querying a global secondary index.

Specified by:
query in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
queryRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the Query service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Returns:
The response from the Query service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceNotFoundException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

putItem

public PutItemResult putItem(PutItemRequest putItemRequest)

Creates a new item, or replaces an old item with a new item. If an item already exists in the specified table with the same primary key, the new item completely replaces the existing item. You can perform a conditional put (insert a new item if one with the specified primary key doesn't exist), or replace an existing item if it has certain attribute values.

In addition to putting an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues parameter.

When you add an item, the primary key attribute(s) are the only required attributes. Attribute values cannot be null. String and binary type attributes must have lengths greater than zero. Set type attributes cannot be empty. Requests with empty values will be rejected with a ValidationException .

You can request that PutItem return either a copy of the old item (before the update) or a copy of the new item (after the update). For more information, see the ReturnValues description.

NOTE: To prevent a new item from replacing an existing item, use a conditional put operation with ComparisonOperator set to NULL for the primary key attribute, or attributes.

For more information about using this API, see Working with Items in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Specified by:
putItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
putItemRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the PutItem service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.

A single operation can retrieve up to 1 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.

For example, if you ask to retrieve 100 items, but each individual item is 50 KB in size, the system returns 20 items (1 MB) and 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 dataset.

If none of the items can be processed due to insufficient provisioned throughput on all of the tables in the request, then BatchGetItem will throw 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 .

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.

batchGetItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
batchGetItemRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the BatchGetItem service method on AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Returns:
The response from the BatchGetItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceNotFoundException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

listTables

public ListTablesResult listTables()
                            throws AmazonServiceException,
                                   AmazonClientException

Returns an array of table names associated with the current account and endpoint. The output from ListTables is paginated, with each page returning a maximum of 100 table names.

Specified by:
listTables in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Returns:
The response from the ListTables service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

scan

public ScanResult scan(java.lang.String tableName,
                       java.util.List<java.lang.String> attributesToGet)
                throws AmazonServiceException,
                       AmazonClientException

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

If the total number of scanned items exceeds the maximum data set size limit of 1 MB, the scan stops and results are returned to the user with a LastEvaluatedKey to continue the scan in a subsequent operation. The results also include the number of items exceeding the limit. A scan can result in no table data meeting the filter criteria.

The result set is eventually consistent.

By default, Scan operations proceed sequentially; however, for faster performance on large tables, applications can request a parallel Scan by specifying the Segment and TotalSegments parameters. For more information, see Parallel Scan in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Specified by:
scan in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
tableName - The name of the table containing the requested items.
attributesToGet - The names of one or more attributes to retrieve. 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.

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.

Returns:
The response from the Scan service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceNotFoundException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

scan

public ScanResult scan(java.lang.String tableName,
                       java.util.Map<java.lang.String,Condition> scanFilter)
                throws AmazonServiceException,
                       AmazonClientException

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

If the total number of scanned items exceeds the maximum data set size limit of 1 MB, the scan stops and results are returned to the user with a LastEvaluatedKey to continue the scan in a subsequent operation. The results also include the number of items exceeding the limit. A scan can result in no table data meeting the filter criteria.

The result set is eventually consistent.

By default, Scan operations proceed sequentially; however, for faster performance on large tables, applications can request a parallel Scan by specifying the Segment and TotalSegments parameters. For more information, see Parallel Scan in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Specified by:
scan in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
tableName - The name of the table containing the requested items.
scanFilter - Evaluates the scan results and returns only the desired values.

If you specify more than one condition in the ScanFilter map, then by default all of the conditions must evaluate to true. In other words, the conditions are ANDed together. (You can use the ConditionalOperator parameter to OR the conditions instead. If you do this, then at least one of the conditions must evaluate to true, rather than all of them.)

Each ScanFilter element consists of an attribute name to compare, along with the following:

  • AttributeValueList - One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of values in the list depends on the ComparisonOperator being used.

    For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.

    String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values. For example, a is greater than A, and aa is greater than B. For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.

    For Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values, for example when evaluating query expressions.

    For information on specifying data types in JSON, see JSON Data Format in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

  • ComparisonOperator - A comparator for evaluating attributes. For example, equals, greater than, less than, etc.

    The following comparison operators are available:

    EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN

    For complete descriptions of all comparison operators, see API_Condition.html.

Returns:
The response from the Scan service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceNotFoundException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.

updateTable

public UpdateTableResult updateTable(java.lang.String tableName,
                                     ProvisionedThroughput provisionedThroughput)
                              throws AmazonServiceException,
                                     AmazonClientException

Updates the provisioned throughput for the given table. Setting the throughput for a table helps you manage performance and is part of the provisioned throughput feature of DynamoDB.

The provisioned throughput values can be upgraded or downgraded based on the maximums and minimums listed in the Limits section in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

The table must be in the ACTIVE state for this operation to succeed. UpdateTable is an asynchronous operation; while executing the operation, the table is in the UPDATING state. While the table is in the UPDATING state, the table still has the provisioned throughput from before the call. The new provisioned throughput setting is in effect only when the table returns to the ACTIVE state after the UpdateTable operation.

You cannot add, modify or delete indexes using UpdateTable . Indexes can only be defined at table creation time.

Specified by:
updateTable in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
tableName - The name of the table to be updated.
provisionedThroughput - Represents the provisioned throughput settings for a specified table or index. The settings can be modified using the UpdateTable operation.

For current minimum and maximum provisioned throughput values, see Limits in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Returns:
The response from the UpdateTable service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceInUseException
ResourceNotFoundException
LimitExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

deleteTable

public DeleteTableResult deleteTable(java.lang.String tableName)
                              throws AmazonServiceException,
                                     AmazonClientException

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.

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

Specified by:
deleteTable in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
tableName - The name of the table to delete.
Returns:
The response from the DeleteTable service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceInUseException
ResourceNotFoundException
LimitExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

batchWriteItem

public BatchWriteItemResult batchWriteItem(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.util.List<WriteRequest>> requestItems)
                                    throws AmazonServiceException,
                                           AmazonClientException

The BatchWriteItem operation puts or deletes multiple items in one or more tables. A single call to BatchWriteItem can write up to 1 MB of data, which can comprise as many as 25 put or delete requests. Individual items to be written can be as large as 64 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 BatchGetItem will throw a ProvisionedThroughputExceededException .

To write one item, you can use the PutItem operation; to delete one item, you can use the DeleteItem operation.

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, such as Java, 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, such as PHP, 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:

Specified by:
batchWriteItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
requestItems - A map of one or more table names and, for each table, a list of operations to be performed (DeleteRequest or PutRequest). Each element in the map consists of the following:
  • DeleteRequest - Perform a DeleteItem operation on the specified item. The item to be deleted is identified by a Key subelement:

    • Key - A map of primary key attribute values that uniquely identify the item. Each entry in this map consists of an attribute name and an attribute value.

  • PutRequest - Perform a PutItem operation on the specified item. The item to be put is identified by an Item subelement:

    • Item - A map of attributes and their values. Each entry in this map consists of an attribute name and an attribute value. Attribute values must not be null; string and binary type attributes must have lengths greater than zero; and set type attributes must not be empty. Requests that contain empty values will be rejected with a ValidationException.

      If you specify 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.

Returns:
The response from the BatchWriteItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException
ResourceNotFoundException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

Parameters:
tableName - The name of the table containing the requested item.
key - A map of attribute names to AttributeValue objects, representing the primary key of the item to retrieve.
consistentRead - If set to true, then the operation uses strongly consistent reads; otherwise, eventually consistent reads are used.
Returns:
The response from the GetItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceNotFoundException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.

                                   AmazonClientException

Deletes a single item in a table by primary key. You can perform a conditional delete operation that deletes the item if it exists, or if it has an expected attribute value.

In addition to deleting an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues parameter.

Unless you specify conditions, the DeleteItem is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same item or attribute does not result in an error response.

Conditional deletes are useful for only deleting items if specific conditions are met. If those conditions are met, DynamoDB performs the delete. Otherwise, the item is not deleted.

Specified by:
deleteItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
tableName - The name of the table from which to delete the item.
key - A map of attribute names to AttributeValue objects, representing the primary key of the item to delete.
Returns:
The response from the DeleteItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException
ResourceNotFoundException
ConditionalCheckFailedException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.

                                   AmazonClientException

Deletes a single item in a table by primary key. You can perform a conditional delete operation that deletes the item if it exists, or if it has an expected attribute value.

In addition to deleting an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues parameter.

Unless you specify conditions, the DeleteItem is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same item or attribute does not result in an error response.

Conditional deletes are useful for only deleting items if specific conditions are met. If those conditions are met, DynamoDB performs the delete. Otherwise, the item is not deleted.

Specified by:
deleteItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
tableName - The name of the table from which to delete the item.
key - A map of attribute names to AttributeValue objects, representing the primary key of the item to delete.
returnValues - Use ReturnValues if you want to get the item attributes as they appeared before they were deleted. For DeleteItem, the valid values are:
  • NONE - If ReturnValues is not specified, or if its value is NONE, then nothing is returned. (This is the default for ReturnValues.)

  • ALL_OLD - The content of the old item is returned.

Returns:
The response from the DeleteItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException
ResourceNotFoundException
ConditionalCheckFailedException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.

createTable

public CreateTableResult createTable(java.util.List<AttributeDefinition> attributeDefinitions,
                                     java.lang.String tableName,
                                     java.util.List<KeySchemaElement> keySchema,
                                     ProvisionedThroughput provisionedThroughput)
                              throws AmazonServiceException,
                                     AmazonClientException

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.

If you want to create multiple tables with secondary indexes on them, you must create them sequentially. Only one table with secondary indexes can be in the CREATING state at any given time.

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

Specified by:
createTable in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
attributeDefinitions - An array of attributes that describe the key schema for the table and indexes.
tableName - The name of the table to create.
keySchema - 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 - Determines whether the key attribute is HASH or RANGE.

For a primary key that consists of a hash attribute, you must specify exactly one element with a KeyType of HASH.

For a primary key that consists of hash and range attributes, you must specify 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 Specifying the Primary Key in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

provisionedThroughput - Represents the provisioned throughput settings for a specified table or index. The settings can be modified using the UpdateTable operation.

For current minimum and maximum provisioned throughput values, see Limits in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Returns:
The response from the CreateTable service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceInUseException
LimitExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

                             AmazonClientException

Creates a new item, or replaces an old item with a new item. If an item already exists in the specified table with the same primary key, the new item completely replaces the existing item. You can perform a conditional put (insert a new item if one with the specified primary key doesn't exist), or replace an existing item if it has certain attribute values.

In addition to putting an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues parameter.

When you add an item, the primary key attribute(s) are the only required attributes. Attribute values cannot be null. String and binary type attributes must have lengths greater than zero. Set type attributes cannot be empty. Requests with empty values will be rejected with a ValidationException .

You can request that PutItem return either a copy of the old item (before the update) or a copy of the new item (after the update). For more information, see the ReturnValues description.

NOTE: To prevent a new item from replacing an existing item, use a conditional put operation with ComparisonOperator set to NULL for the primary key attribute, or attributes.

For more information about using this API, see Working with Items in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Specified by:
putItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
tableName - The name of the table to contain the item.
item - A map of attribute name/value pairs, one for each attribute. Only the primary key attributes are required; you can optionally provide other attribute name-value pairs for the item.

If you specify 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.

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

Each element in the Item map is an AttributeValue object.

Returns:
The response from the PutItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException
ResourceNotFoundException
ConditionalCheckFailedException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

                      throws AmazonServiceException,
                             AmazonClientException

Creates a new item, or replaces an old item with a new item. If an item already exists in the specified table with the same primary key, the new item completely replaces the existing item. You can perform a conditional put (insert a new item if one with the specified primary key doesn't exist), or replace an existing item if it has certain attribute values.

In addition to putting an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues parameter.

When you add an item, the primary key attribute(s) are the only required attributes. Attribute values cannot be null. String and binary type attributes must have lengths greater than zero. Set type attributes cannot be empty. Requests with empty values will be rejected with a ValidationException .

You can request that PutItem return either a copy of the old item (before the update) or a copy of the new item (after the update). For more information, see the ReturnValues description.

NOTE: To prevent a new item from replacing an existing item, use a conditional put operation with ComparisonOperator set to NULL for the primary key attribute, or attributes.

For more information about using this API, see Working with Items in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

updateItem

public UpdateItemResult updateItem(java.lang.String tableName,
                                   java.util.Map<java.lang.String,AttributeValue> key,
                                   java.util.Map<java.lang.String,AttributeValueUpdate> attributeUpdates)
                            throws AmazonServiceException,
                                   AmazonClientException

Edits an existing item's attributes, or inserts a new item if it does not already exist. You can put, delete, or add attribute values. You can also perform a conditional update (insert a new attribute name-value pair if it doesn't exist, or replace an existing name-value pair if it has certain expected attribute values).

In addition to updating an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues parameter.

Specified by:
updateItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
tableName - The name of the table containing the item to update.
key - The primary key that defines the item. Each element consists of an attribute name and a value for that attribute.
attributeUpdates - The names of attributes to be modified, the action to perform on each, and the new value for each. If you are updating an attribute that is an index key attribute for any indexes on that table, the attribute type must match the index key type defined in the AttributesDefinition of the table description. You can use UpdateItem to update any non-key attributes.

Attribute values cannot be null. String and binary type attributes must have lengths greater than zero. Set type attributes must not be empty. Requests with empty values will be rejected with a ValidationException.

Each AttributeUpdates element consists of an attribute name to modify, along with the following:

  • Value - The new value, if applicable, for this attribute.

  • Action - Specifies how to perform the update. Valid values for Action are PUT, DELETE, and ADD. The behavior depends on whether the specified primary key already exists in the table.

    If an item with the specified Key is found in the table:

    • PUT - Adds the specified attribute to the item. If the attribute already exists, it is replaced by the new value.

    • DELETE - If no value is specified, the attribute and its value are removed from the item. The data type of the specified value must match the existing value's data type.

      If a set of values is specified, then those values are subtracted from the old set. For example, if the attribute value was the set [a,b,c] and the DELETE action specified [a,c], then the final attribute value would be [b]. Specifying an empty set is an error.

    • ADD - If the attribute does not already exist, then the attribute and its values are added to the item. If the attribute does exist, then the behavior of ADD depends on the data type of the attribute:

      • If the existing attribute is a number, and if Value is also a number, then the Value is mathematically added to the existing attribute. If Value is a negative number, then it is subtracted from the existing attribute.

        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.

        In addition, if you use ADD to update an existing item, and intend to increment or decrement an attribute value which does not yet exist, DynamoDB uses 0 as the initial value. For example, suppose that the item you want to update does not yet have an attribute named itemcount, but you decide to ADD the number 3 to this attribute anyway, even though it currently does not exist. 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 in the item, with a value of 3.

      • If the existing data type is a set, and if the Value is also a set, then the Value is added to the existing set. (This is a set operation, not mathematical addition.) For example, if the attribute value was the set [1,2], and the ADD action specified [3], then the final attribute value would be [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, the Value must also be a set of strings. The same holds true for number sets and binary sets.

      This action is only valid for an existing attribute whose data type is number or is a set. Do not use ADD for any other data types.

    If no item with the specified Key is found:

    • PUT - DynamoDB creates a new item with the specified primary key, and then adds the attribute.

    • DELETE - Nothing happens; there is no attribute to delete.

    • ADD - DynamoDB creates 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; no other data types can be specified.

If you specify 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.

Returns:
The response from the UpdateItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException
ResourceNotFoundException
ConditionalCheckFailedException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

updateItem

public UpdateItemResult updateItem(java.lang.String tableName,
                                   java.util.Map<java.lang.String,AttributeValue> key,
                                   java.util.Map<java.lang.String,AttributeValueUpdate> attributeUpdates,

                            throws AmazonServiceException,
                                   AmazonClientException

Edits an existing item's attributes, or inserts a new item if it does not already exist. You can put, delete, or add attribute values. You can also perform a conditional update (insert a new attribute name-value pair if it doesn't exist, or replace an existing name-value pair if it has certain expected attribute values).

In addition to updating an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues parameter.

Specified by:
updateItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
tableName - The name of the table containing the item to update.
key - The primary key that defines the item. Each element consists of an attribute name and a value for that attribute.
attributeUpdates - The names of attributes to be modified, the action to perform on each, and the new value for each. If you are updating an attribute that is an index key attribute for any indexes on that table, the attribute type must match the index key type defined in the AttributesDefinition of the table description. You can use UpdateItem to update any non-key attributes.

Attribute values cannot be null. String and binary type attributes must have lengths greater than zero. Set type attributes must not be empty. Requests with empty values will be rejected with a ValidationException.

Each AttributeUpdates element consists of an attribute name to modify, along with the following:

  • Value - The new value, if applicable, for this attribute.

  • Action - Specifies how to perform the update. Valid values for Action are PUT, DELETE, and ADD. The behavior depends on whether the specified primary key already exists in the table.

    If an item with the specified Key is found in the table:

    • PUT - Adds the specified attribute to the item. If the attribute already exists, it is replaced by the new value.

    • DELETE - If no value is specified, the attribute and its value are removed from the item. The data type of the specified value must match the existing value's data type.

      If a set of values is specified, then those values are subtracted from the old set. For example, if the attribute value was the set [a,b,c] and the DELETE action specified [a,c], then the final attribute value would be [b]. Specifying an empty set is an error.

    • ADD - If the attribute does not already exist, then the attribute and its values are added to the item. If the attribute does exist, then the behavior of ADD depends on the data type of the attribute:

      • If the existing attribute is a number, and if Value is also a number, then the Value is mathematically added to the existing attribute. If Value is a negative number, then it is subtracted from the existing attribute.

        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.

        In addition, if you use ADD to update an existing item, and intend to increment or decrement an attribute value which does not yet exist, DynamoDB uses 0 as the initial value. For example, suppose that the item you want to update does not yet have an attribute named itemcount, but you decide to ADD the number 3 to this attribute anyway, even though it currently does not exist. 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 in the item, with a value of 3.

      • If the existing data type is a set, and if the Value is also a set, then the Value is added to the existing set. (This is a set operation, not mathematical addition.) For example, if the attribute value was the set [1,2], and the ADD action specified [3], then the final attribute value would be [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, the Value must also be a set of strings. The same holds true for number sets and binary sets.

      This action is only valid for an existing attribute whose data type is number or is a set. Do not use ADD for any other data types.

    If no item with the specified Key is found:

    • PUT - DynamoDB creates a new item with the specified primary key, and then adds the attribute.

    • DELETE - Nothing happens; there is no attribute to delete.

    • ADD - DynamoDB creates 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; no other data types can be specified.

If you specify 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.

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 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.

Returns:
The response from the UpdateItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException
ResourceNotFoundException
ConditionalCheckFailedException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

batchGetItem

public BatchGetItemResult batchGetItem(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,KeysAndAttributes> requestItems,
                                       java.lang.String returnConsumedCapacity)
                                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 1 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.

For example, if you ask to retrieve 100 items, but each individual item is 50 KB in size, the system returns 20 items (1 MB) and 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 dataset.

If none of the items can be processed due to insufficient provisioned throughput on all of the tables in the request, then BatchGetItem will throw 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 .

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.

Specified by:
batchGetItem in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
requestItems - A map of one or more table names and, for each table, the corresponding primary keys for the items to retrieve. Each table name can be invoked only once.

Each element in the map consists of the following:

  • Keys - An array of primary key attribute values that define specific items in the table.

  • AttributesToGet - One or more attributes to be retrieved from the table. By default, all attributes are returned. If a specified attribute is not found, it does 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.

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

returnConsumedCapacity - If set to TOTAL, the response includes ConsumedCapacity data for tables and indexes. If set to INDEXES, the response includes ConsumedCapacity for indexes. If set to NONE (the default), ConsumedCapacity is not included in the response.
Returns:
The response from the BatchGetItem service method, as returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2.
Throws:
ResourceNotFoundException
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
InternalServerErrorException
AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.
AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonDynamoDBv2 indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

setEndpoint

public void setEndpoint(java.lang.String endpoint)
Description copied from class: AmazonWebServiceClient
Overrides the default endpoint for this client. Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

This method is not threadsafe. Endpoints should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit.

Callers can pass in just the endpoint (ex: "ec2.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "https://ec2.amazonaws.com"). If the protocol is not specified here, the default protocol from this client's ClientConfiguration will be used, which by default is HTTPS.

For more information on using AWS regions with the AWS SDK for Java, and a complete list of all available endpoints for all AWS services, see: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=3912

Specified by:
setEndpoint in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Overrides:
setEndpoint in class AmazonWebServiceClient
Parameters:
endpoint - The endpoint (ex: "ec2.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "https://ec2.amazonaws.com") of the region specific AWS endpoint this client will communicate with.

setEndpoint

public void setEndpoint(java.lang.String endpoint,

                        java.lang.String regionId)
                 throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Description copied from class: AmazonWebServiceClient
An internal method that is not expected to be normally called except for AWS internal development purposes.

Overrides the default endpoint for this client ("http://dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/") and explicitly provides an AWS region ID and AWS service name to use when the client calculates a signature for requests. In almost all cases, this region ID and service name are automatically determined from the endpoint, and callers should use the simpler one-argument form of setEndpoint instead of this method.

Callers can pass in just the endpoint (ex: "dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "http://dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/"). If the protocol is not specified here, the default protocol from this client's ClientConfiguration will be used, which by default is HTTPS.

For more information on using AWS regions with the AWS SDK for Java, and a complete list of all available endpoints for all AWS services, see: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID= 3912

Overrides:
setEndpoint in class AmazonWebServiceClient
Parameters:
endpoint - The endpoint (ex: "dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "http://dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/") of the region specific AWS endpoint this client will communicate with.
serviceName - This parameter is ignored.

getCachedResponseMetadata

public ResponseMetadata getCachedResponseMetadata(AmazonWebServiceRequest request)
Returns additional metadata for a previously executed successful, request, typically used for debugging issues where a service isn't acting as expected. This data isn't considered part of the result data returned by an operation, so it's available through this separate, diagnostic interface.

Response metadata is only cached for a limited period of time, so if you need to access this extra diagnostic information for an executed request, you should use this method to retrieve it as soon as possible after executing the request.

Specified by:
getCachedResponseMetadata in interface AmazonDynamoDB
Parameters:
request - The originally executed request
Returns:
The response metadata for the specified request, or null if none is available.
