Interface KeysAndAttributes.Builder

    • Method Detail

      • keys

        KeysAndAttributes.Builder keys​(Collection<? extends Map<String,​AttributeValue>> keys)

        The primary key attribute values that define the items and the attributes associated with the items.

        Parameters:
        keys - The primary key attribute values that define the items and the attributes associated with the items.
        Returns:
        Returns a reference to this object so that method calls can be chained together.

      • keys

        KeysAndAttributes.Builder keys​(Map<String,​AttributeValue>... keys)

        The primary key attribute values that define the items and the attributes associated with the items.

        Parameters:
        keys - The primary key attribute values that define the items and the attributes associated with the items.
        Returns:
        Returns a reference to this object so that method calls can be chained together.

      • attributesToGet

        KeysAndAttributes.Builder attributesToGet​(Collection<String> attributesToGet)

        This is a legacy parameter. Use ProjectionExpression instead. For more information, see Legacy Conditional Parameters in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        Parameters:
        attributesToGet - This is a legacy parameter. Use ProjectionExpression instead. For more information, see Legacy Conditional Parameters in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
        Returns:
        Returns a reference to this object so that method calls can be chained together.

      • attributesToGet

        KeysAndAttributes.Builder attributesToGet​(String... attributesToGet)

        This is a legacy parameter. Use ProjectionExpression instead. For more information, see Legacy Conditional Parameters in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        Parameters:
        attributesToGet - This is a legacy parameter. Use ProjectionExpression instead. For more information, see Legacy Conditional Parameters in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
        Returns:
        Returns a reference to this object so that method calls can be chained together.

      • consistentRead

        KeysAndAttributes.Builder consistentRead​(Boolean consistentRead)

        The consistency of a read operation. If set to true, then a strongly consistent read is used; otherwise, an eventually consistent read is used.

        Parameters:
        consistentRead - The consistency of a read operation. If set to true, then a strongly consistent read is used; otherwise, an eventually consistent read is used.
        Returns:
        Returns a reference to this object so that method calls can be chained together.

      • projectionExpression

        KeysAndAttributes.Builder projectionExpression​(String projectionExpression)

        A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the ProjectionExpression must be separated by commas.

        If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result.

        For more information, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        Parameters:
        projectionExpression - A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the ProjectionExpression must be separated by commas.

        If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result.

        For more information, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        Returns:
        Returns a reference to this object so that method calls can be chained together.

      • expressionAttributeNames

        KeysAndAttributes.Builder expressionAttributeNames​(Map<String,​String> expressionAttributeNames)

        One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

        • To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.

        • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.

        • To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.

        Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:

        • Percentile

        The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for ExpressionAttributeNames:

        • {"#P":"Percentile"}

        You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:

        • #P = :val

        Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.

        For more information on expression attribute names, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        Parameters:
        expressionAttributeNames - One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

        • To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.

        • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.

        • To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.

        Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:

        • Percentile

        The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for ExpressionAttributeNames:
