Writer Overview

The DynamoDB writer module stores attributes into a DynamoDB database. The DynamoDB writer provides the following capabilities:

  • Index Creation: The DynamoDB writer can set up and populate indexes as part of the loading process. When creating a table, a hash key index must be specified. One additional column can be indexed using DynamoDB’s range key index. Local secondary indexes are not supported at this time.
  • Batch Writes: The DynamoDB writer uses writes in batches of 25 items in order to ensure a faster data loading process.
