Returns information about the table, including the current status of the table, when it was created, the primary key schema, and any indexes on the table.
If you issue a describe_table
request
immediately after a create_table
request,
DynamoDB might return a ResourceNotFoundException
. This is because
describe_table
uses an eventually
consistent query, and the metadata for your table might not be available
at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then try the
describe_table
request again.
