NAME

Paws::DynamoDB::BatchGetItem - Arguments for method BatchGetItem on Paws::DynamoDB

DESCRIPTION

This class represents the parameters used for calling the method BatchGetItem on the Amazon DynamoDB service. Use the attributes of this class as arguments to method BatchGetItem.

You shouln't make instances of this class. Each attribute should be used as a named argument in the call to BatchGetItem.

As an example:

  $service_obj->BatchGetItem(Att1 => $value1, Att2 => $value2, ...);

Values for attributes that are native types (Int, String, Float, etc) can passed as-is (scalar values). Values for complex Types (objects) can be passed as a HashRef. The keys and values of the hashref will be used to instance the underlying object.

ATTRIBUTES

REQUIRED RequestItems => Paws::DynamoDB::BatchGetRequestMap

A map of one or more table names and, for each table, a map that describes one or more items to retrieve from that table. Each table name can be used only once per BatchGetItem request.

Each element in the map of items to retrieve consists of the following:

• ConsistentRead - If true, a strongly consistent read is used; if false (the default), an eventually consistent read is used.

• ExpressionAttributeNames - One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in the ProjectionExpression parameter. 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 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:

  • {"

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

  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.

• Keys - An array of primary key attribute values that define specific items in the table. For each primary key, you must provide all of the key attributes. For example, with a hash type primary key, you only need to provide the hash attribute. For a hash-and-range type primary key, you must provide both the hash attribute and the range attribute.

• 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 expression 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.

• AttributesToGet -

  This is a legacy parameter, for backward compatibility. New applications should use ProjectionExpression instead. Do not combine legacy parameters and expression parameters in a single API call; otherwise, DynamoDB will return a ValidationException exception.

  This parameter allows you to retrieve attributes of type List or Map; however, it cannot retrieve individual elements within a List or a Map.

  The names of one or more attributes to retrieve. If no attribute names are provided, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result.

  Note that AttributesToGet has no effect on provisioned throughput consumption. DynamoDB determines capacity units consumed based on item size, not on the amount of data that is returned to an application.
