aws.dynamodbstreams.get_shard_iterator

Example SQL Queries

SELECT * FROM
aws.dynamodbstreams.get_shard_iterator
WHERE
"stream_arn" = 'VALUE'
AND "shard_id" = 'VALUE'
AND "shard_iterator_type" = 'VALUE';

Description

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.

Table Definition

Column NameColumn Data Type
shard_id Required Input Column

The identifier of the shard. The iterator will be returned for this shard ID.

VARCHAR
shard_iterator_type Required Input Column

Determines how the shard iterator is used to start reading stream records from the shard:

  • AT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER - Start reading exactly from the position denoted by a specific sequence number.

  • AFTER_SEQUENCE_NUMBER - Start reading right after the position denoted by a specific sequence number.

  • TRIM_HORIZON - Start reading at the last (untrimmed) stream record, which is the oldest record in the shard. In DynamoDB Streams, there is a 24 hour limit on data retention. Stream records whose age exceeds this limit are subject to removal (trimming) from the stream.

  • LATEST - Start reading just after the most recent stream record in the shard, so that you always read the most recent data in the shard.

VARCHAR
stream_arn Required Input Column

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the stream.

VARCHAR
sequence_number Input Column

The sequence number of a stream record in the shard from which to start reading.

VARCHAR
_aws_profile Input Column

The AWS profile defines the AWS identity used. It can be defined via credentials or by assuming a IAM role.
