Amazon DynamoDB Streams provides API actions for accessing streams and processing stream records. To learn more about application development with Streams, see Capturing Table Activity with DynamoDB Streams in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

', 'operations' => [ 'DescribeStream' => '

Returns information about a stream, including the current status of the stream, its Amazon Resource Name (ARN), the composition of its shards, and its corresponding DynamoDB table.

You can call DescribeStream at a maximum rate of 10 times per second.

Each shard in the stream has a SequenceNumberRange associated with it. If the SequenceNumberRange has a StartingSequenceNumber but no EndingSequenceNumber, then the shard is still open (able to receive more stream records). If both StartingSequenceNumber and EndingSequenceNumber are present, then that shard is closed and can no longer receive more data.

', 'GetRecords' => '

Retrieves the stream records from a given shard.

Specify a shard iterator using the ShardIterator parameter. The shard iterator specifies the position in the shard from which you want to start reading stream records sequentially. If there are no stream records available in the portion of the shard that the iterator points to, GetRecords returns an empty list. Note that it might take multiple calls to get to a portion of the shard that contains stream records.

GetRecords can retrieve a maximum of 1 MB of data or 1000 stream records, whichever comes first.

', 'GetShardIterator' => '

Returns a shard iterator. A shard iterator provides information about how to retrieve the stream records from within a shard. Use the shard iterator in a subsequent GetRecords request to read the stream records from the shard.

A shard iterator expires 15 minutes after it is returned to the requester.

', 'ListStreams' => '

Returns an array of stream ARNs associated with the current account and endpoint. If the TableName parameter is present, then ListStreams will return only the streams ARNs for that table.

You can call ListStreams at a maximum rate of 5 times per second.

Represents the data for an attribute.

Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the data type, and the value is the data itself.

For more information, see Data Types in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

The key attribute(s) of the stream\'s DynamoDB table.

', ], ], 'KeySchemaAttributeName' => [ 'base' => NULL, 'refs' => [ 'KeySchemaElement$AttributeName' => '

The name of a key attribute.

', ], ], 'KeySchemaElement' => [ 'base' => '

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.

', 'refs' => [ 'KeySchema$member' => NULL, ], ], 'KeyType' => [ 'base' => NULL, 'refs' => [ 'KeySchemaElement$KeyType' => '

The role that this key attribute will assume:

HASH - partition key
RANGE - sort key

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.

', ], ], 'LimitExceededException' => [ 'base' => '

There is no limit to the number of daily on-demand backups that can be taken.

For most purposes, up to 500 simultaneous table operations are allowed per account. These operations include CreateTable, UpdateTable, DeleteTable,UpdateTimeToLive, RestoreTableFromBackup, and RestoreTableToPointInTime.

When you are creating a table with one or more secondary indexes, you can have up to 250 such requests running at a time. However, if the table or index specifications are complex, then DynamoDB might temporarily reduce the number of concurrent operations.

When importing into DynamoDB, up to 50 simultaneous import table operations are allowed per account.

There is a soft account quota of 2,500 tables.

GetRecords was called with a value of more than 1000 for the limit request parameter.

More than 2 processes are reading from the same streams shard at the same time. Exceeding this limit may result in request throttling.

"NULL": true

', ], ], 'NumberAttributeValue' => [ 'base' => NULL, 'refs' => [ 'AttributeValue$N' => '

An attribute of type Number. For example:

Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

', 'NumberSetAttributeValue$member' => NULL, ], ], 'NumberSetAttributeValue' => [ 'base' => NULL, 'refs' => [ 'AttributeValue$NS' => '

An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

The shard ID of the current shard\'s parent.

', 'StreamDescription$LastEvaluatedShardId' => '

The shard ID of the item where the operation stopped, inclusive of the previous result set. Use this value to start a new operation, excluding this value in the new request.

If LastEvaluatedShardId is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is currently no more data to be retrieved.

If LastEvaluatedShardId is not empty, it does not necessarily mean that there is more data in the result set. The only way to know when you have reached the end of the result set is when LastEvaluatedShardId is empty.

', ], ], 'ShardIterator' => [ 'base' => NULL, 'refs' => [ 'GetRecordsInput$ShardIterator' => '

A shard iterator that was retrieved from a previous GetShardIterator operation. This iterator can be used to access the stream records in this shard.

The next position in the shard from which to start sequentially reading stream records. If set to null, the shard has been closed and the requested iterator will not return any more data.

', 'GetShardIteratorOutput$ShardIterator' => '

The position in the shard from which to start reading stream records sequentially. A shard iterator specifies this position using the sequence number of a stream record in a shard.

', ], ], 'ShardIteratorType' => [ 'base' => NULL, 'refs' => [ 'GetShardIteratorInput$ShardIteratorType' => '

Determines how the shard iterator is used to start reading stream records from the shard:

AT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER - Start reading exactly from the position denoted by a specific sequence number.
AFTER_SEQUENCE_NUMBER - Start reading right after the position denoted by a specific sequence number.
TRIM_HORIZON - Start reading at the last (untrimmed) stream record, which is the oldest record in the shard. In DynamoDB Streams, there is a 24 hour limit on data retention. Stream records whose age exceeds this limit are subject to removal (trimming) from the stream.
LATEST - Start reading just after the most recent stream record in the shard, so that you always read the most recent data in the shard.

The operation attempted to read past the oldest stream record in a shard.

In DynamoDB Streams, there is a 24 hour limit on data retention. Stream records whose age exceeds this limit are subject to removal (trimming) from the stream. You might receive a TrimmedDataAccessException if:

You request a shard iterator with a sequence number older than the trim point (24 hours).
You obtain a shard iterator, but before you use the iterator in a GetRecords request, a stream record in the shard exceeds the 24 hour period and is trimmed. This causes the iterator to access a record that no longer exists.
