backfilling instance-attribute

backfilling: NotRequired[Backfilling]

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.

For indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation, the Backfilling attribute does not appear in the DescribeTable output.

index_arn instance-attribute

index_arn: NotRequired[String]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the index.

index_name instance-attribute

index_name: NotRequired[IndexName]

The name of the global secondary index.

index_size_bytes instance-attribute

index_size_bytes: NotRequired[LongObject]

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.

index_status instance-attribute

index_status: NotRequired[IndexStatus]

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.

item_count instance-attribute

item_count: NotRequired[LongObject]

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.

key_schema instance-attribute

key_schema: NotRequired[KeySchema]

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

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.

on_demand_throughput instance-attribute

on_demand_throughput: NotRequired[OnDemandThroughput]

The maximum number of read and write units for the specified global secondary index. If you use this parameter, you must specify MaxReadRequestUnits, MaxWriteRequestUnits, or both.

projection instance-attribute

projection: NotRequired[Projection]

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.

provisioned_throughput instance-attribute

provisioned_throughput: NotRequired[ProvisionedThroughputDescription]

Represents the provisioned throughput settings for the specified global secondary index.

For current minimum and maximum provisioned throughput values, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

warm_throughput instance-attribute

warm_throughput: NotRequired[GlobalSecondaryIndexWarmThroughputDescription]

Represents the warm throughput value (in read units per second and write units per second) for the specified secondary index.
