public class DeleteItemRequest extends AmazonWebServiceRequest implements Serializable
DeleteItem operation
.
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.

public Map<String,ExpectedAttributeValue> getExpected()
Each element of Expected consists of an attribute name, a comparison operator, and one or more values. DynamoDB compares the attribute with the value(s) you supplied, using the comparison operator. For each Expected element, the result of the evaluation is either true or false.
If you specify more than one element in the Expected 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.)
If the Expected map evaluates to true, then the conditional operation succeeds; otherwise, it fails.
Each item in Expected represents an attribute name for DynamoDB to check, along with an AttributeValueList and a ComparisonOperator:
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.
ComparisonOperator - A comparator for evaluating attributes in the AttributeValueList. When performing the comparison, DynamoDB uses strongly consistent reads.
The following comparison operators are available:
EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS |
NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN
The following are descriptions of each comparison operator.
EQ
: Equal.
AttributeValueList can contain only one
AttributeValue of type String, Number, Binary, String Set,
Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an
AttributeValue of a different type than the one specified in
the request, the value does not match. For example,
{"S":"6"}
does not equal {"N":"6"}
. Also,
{"N":"6"}
does not equal {"NS":["6", "2",
"1"]}
.
NE
: Not equal.
AttributeValueList can contain only one
AttributeValue of type String, Number, Binary, String Set,
Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an
AttributeValue of a different type than the one specified in
the request, the value does not match. For example,
{"S":"6"}
does not equal {"N":"6"}
. Also,
{"N":"6"}
does not equal {"NS":["6", "2",
"1"]}
.
LE
: Less than or equal.
AttributeValueList can contain only one
AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set).
If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than
the one specified in the request, the value does not match. For
example, {"S":"6"}
does not equal {"N":"6"}
.
Also, {"N":"6"}
does not compare to {"NS":["6",
"2", "1"]}
.
LT
: Less than.
AttributeValueList can contain only one
AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set).
If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than
the one specified in the request, the value does not match. For
example, {"S":"6"}
does not equal {"N":"6"}
.
Also, {"N":"6"}
does not compare to {"NS":["6",
"2", "1"]}
.
GE
: Greater than
or equal.
AttributeValueList can contain only one
AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set).
If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than
the one specified in the request, the value does not match. For
example, {"S":"6"}
does not equal {"N":"6"}
.
Also, {"N":"6"}
does not compare to {"NS":["6",
"2", "1"]}
.
GT
: Greater than.
AttributeValueList can contain only one
AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set).
If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than
the one specified in the request, the value does not match. For
example, {"S":"6"}
does not equal {"N":"6"}
.
Also, {"N":"6"}
does not compare to {"NS":["6",
"2", "1"]}
.
NOT_NULL
: The
attribute exists.
NULL
: The attribute does
not exist.
CONTAINS
: checks for a
subsequence, or value in a set.
AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operation checks for a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operation looks for a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operation checks for a member of the set (not as a substring).
NOT_CONTAINS
: checks for absence of a
subsequence, or absence of a value in a set.
AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operation checks for the absence of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operation checks for the absence of a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operation checks for the absence of a member of the set (not as a substring).
BEGINS_WITH
: checks for a
prefix.
AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set). The target attribute of the comparison must be a String or Binary (not a Number or a set).
IN
:
checks for exact matches.
AttributeValueList can contain more than one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set). The target attribute of the comparison must be of the same type and exact value to match. A String never matches a String set.
BETWEEN
: Greater than or equal to the
first value, and less than or equal to the second value.
AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue
elements of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a
set). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than,
or equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second
element. If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different
type than the one specified in the request, the value does not match.
For example, {"S":"6"}
does not compare to
{"N":"6"}
. Also, {"N":"6"}
does not compare
to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
For
usage examples of AttributeValueList and
ComparisonOperator, see Conditional
Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. For
backward compatibility with previous DynamoDB releases, the following
parameters can be used instead of AttributeValueList and

DynamoDB to compare with an attribute. Exists -

conditional operation: If Exists is
If Exists is Even though DynamoDB continues to
accept the Value and Exists parameters, they are now
deprecated. We recommend that you use AttributeValueList and
ComparisonOperator instead, since they allow you to constuct a
much wider range of conditions. The Value and Exists
parameters are incompatible with AttributeValueList and
ComparisonOperator. If you attempt to use both sets of
parameters at once, DynamoDB will throw a ValidationException.

expected
- A map of attribute/condition pairs. This is the conditional block for
the DeleteItem operation. Each element of Expected consists of an attribute name, a comparison operator, and one or more values. DynamoDB compares the attribute with the value(s) you supplied, using the comparison operator. For each Expected element, the result of the evaluation is either true or false.
If you specify more than one element in the Expected 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.)
If the Expected map evaluates to true, then the conditional operation succeeds; otherwise, it fails.
Each item in Expected represents an attribute name for DynamoDB to check, along with an AttributeValueList and a ComparisonOperator:
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

greater than A

: Greater than.
AttributeValueList can contain only one
AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set).
If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than
the one specified in the request, the value does not match. For
example, {"S":"6"}
does not equal {"N":"6"}
.
Also, {"N":"6"}
does not compare to {"NS":["6",
"2", "1"]}
.
NOT_NULL
: The
attribute exists.
NULL
: The attribute does
not exist.
CONTAINS
: checks for a
subsequence, or value in a set.
AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operation checks for a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operation looks for a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operation checks for a member of the set (not as a substring).
NOT_CONTAINS
: checks for absence of a
subsequence, or absence of a value in a set.
AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operation checks for the absence of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operation checks for the absence of a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operation checks for the absence of a member of the set (not as a substring).
BEGINS_WITH
: checks for a
prefix.
AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set). The target attribute of the comparison must be a String or Binary (not a Number or a set).
IN
:
checks for exact matches.
AttributeValueList can contain more than one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set). The target attribute of the comparison must be of the same type and exact value to match. A String never matches a String set.
BETWEEN
: Greater than or equal to the
first value, and less than or equal to the second value.
AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue
elements of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a
set). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than,
or equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second
element. If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different
type than the one specified in the request, the value does not match.
For example, {"S":"6"}
does not compare to
{"N":"6"}
. Also, {"N":"6"}
does not compare
to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
For
usage examples of AttributeValueList and
ComparisonOperator, see Conditional
Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. For
backward compatibility with previous DynamoDB releases, the following
parameters can be used instead of AttributeValueList and
ComparisonOperator: Value - A value for
DynamoDB to compare with an attribute. Exists -
Causes DynamoDB to evaluate the value vefore attempting the
conditional operation: If Exists is
If Exists is Even though DynamoDB continues to
accept the Value and Exists parameters, they are now
deprecated. We recommend that you use AttributeValueList and
ComparisonOperator instead, since they allow you to constuct a
much wider range of conditions. The Value and Exists
parameters are incompatible with AttributeValueList and
ComparisonOperator. If you attempt to use both sets of
parameters at once, DynamoDB will throw a ValidationException.
true
, DynamoDB will check to see if that attribute???
value already exists in the table. If it is found, then the condition
evaluates to true; otherwise the condition evaluate to false.false
, DynamoDB assumes that
the attribute value does??? not exist in the table. If in fact
the value does not exist, then the??? assumption is valid and the
condition evaluates to true. If the value is found, despite the
assumption that it does not exist, the condition evaluates to
false.???
