DynamoDBStreamsClient Operations

Command
Summary
DescribeStreamCommand

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.

GetRecordsCommand

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.

GetShardIteratorCommand

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.

ListStreamsCommand

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.

DynamoDBStreamsClient Configuration

Parameter
Type
Description
defaultsMode
Optional
DefaultsMode | Provider<DefaultsMode>
The @smithy/smithy-client#DefaultsMode that will be used to determine how certain default configuration options are resolved in the SDK.
disableHostPrefix
Optional
boolean
Disable dynamically changing the endpoint of the client based on the hostPrefix trait of an operation.
extensions
Optional
RuntimeExtension[]
Optional extensions
logger
Optional
Logger
Optional logger for logging debug/info/warn/error.
maxAttempts
Optional
number | Provider<number>
Value for how many times a request will be made at most in case of retry.
profile
Optional
string
Setting a client profile is similar to setting a value for the AWS_PROFILE environment variable. Setting a profile on a client in code only affects the single client instance, unlike AWS_PROFILE.When set, and only for environments where an AWS configuration file exists, fields configurable by this file will be retrieved from the specified profile within that file. Conflicting code configuration and environment variables will still have higher priority.For client credential resolution that involves checking the AWS configuration file, the client's profile (this value) will be used unless a different profile is set in the credential provider options.
region
Optional
string | Provider<string>
The AWS region to which this client will send requests
requestHandler
Optional
__HttpHandlerUserInput
The HTTP handler to use or its constructor options. Fetch in browser and Https in Nodejs.
retryMode
Optional
string | Provider<string>
Specifies which retry algorithm to use.
useDualstackEndpoint
Optional
boolean | Provider<boolean>
Enables IPv6/IPv4 dualstack endpoint.
useFipsEndpoint
Optional
boolean | Provider<boolean>
Enables FIPS compatible endpoints.
