 ** Path **   <a name="Glue-Type-DynamoDBTarget-Path"></a>
The name of the DynamoDB table to crawl.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** scanAll **   <a name="Glue-Type-DynamoDBTarget-scanAll"></a>
Indicates whether to scan all the records, or to sample rows from the table. Scanning all the records can take a long time when the table is not a high throughput table.  
A value of `true` means to scan all records, while a value of `false` means to sample the records. If no value is specified, the value defaults to `true`.  
Type: Boolean  
Required: No

 ** scanRate **   <a name="Glue-Type-DynamoDBTarget-scanRate"></a>
The percentage of the configured read capacity units to use by the AWS Glue crawler. Read capacity units is a term defined by DynamoDB, and is a numeric value that acts as rate limiter for the number of reads that can be performed on that table per second.  
The valid values are null or a value between 0.1 to 1.5. A null value is used when user does not provide a value, and defaults to 0.5 of the configured Read Capacity Unit (for provisioned tables), or 0.25 of the max configured Read Capacity Unit (for tables using on-demand mode).  
Type: Double  
Required: No
