Amazon DynamoDB Writer Parameters

Specifies the region to use when connecting to Amazon Web Services, and dictates where tables are read from and written to. If Other Region is selected, specify a region manually under Endpoint, using the full endpoint (for example, dynamodb.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com.)

Note: Note: DynamoDB tables are region-dependent, so selecting an incorrect region will prevent your table from appearing in the table list.

The AWS Access Key ID of the user who will access the database.

The user must exist with appropriate DynamoDB permissions. If this entry is not found, the access key ID will be searched for in various places. These are, in order:

• a file called AwsCredentials.properties on the Java classpath
• aws.accessKeyId in the Java system properties
• the environment variable AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID

Once a pair of credentials is found, the search will stop.

The secret access key associated with the user accessing the database.

If this parameter is not found, the secret key will be searched for in various places. These are, in order:

• a file called AwsCredentials.properties on the Java classpath
• aws.secretKey in the Java system properties
• the environment variable AWS_SECRET_KEY

Once a pair of credentials is found, the search will stop.

This parameter sets the maximum number of PUT or DELETE requests processed in each batch operation.
