data KeySchemaElement Source #
Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.
A KeySchemaElement
represents exactly one attribute of the primary
key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one
KeySchemaElement
(for the partition key). A composite primary key
would require one KeySchemaElement
for the partition key, and another
KeySchemaElement
for the sort key.
A KeySchemaElement
must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested
attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The
attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.
See: newKeySchemaElement
smart constructor.

Create a value of KeySchemaElement
with all optional fields omitted.
Use generic-lens or optics to modify other optional fields.
The following record fields are available, with the corresponding lenses provided for backwards compatibility:
$sel:attributeName:KeySchemaElement'
, keySchemaElement_attributeName
- The name of a key attribute.
$sel:keyType:KeySchemaElement'
, keySchemaElement_keyType
- The role that this key attribute will assume:
HASH
- partition keyRANGE
- sort key
The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.
The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
