dynamodbstreams_describe_stream: Returns information about a stream, including the current status of the stream, its Amazon Resource Name (ARN), the composition of its shards, and its corresponding DynamoDB table

Description

Returns information about a stream, including the current status of the stream, its Amazon Resource Name (ARN), the composition of its shards, and its corresponding DynamoDB table.

You can call describe_stream at a maximum rate of 10 times per second.

Each shard in the stream has a SequenceNumberRange associated with it. If the SequenceNumberRange has a StartingSequenceNumber but no EndingSequenceNumber, then the shard is still open (able to receive more stream records). If both StartingSequenceNumber and EndingSequenceNumber are present, then that shard is closed and can no longer receive more data.

Usage

dynamodbstreams_describe_stream(StreamArn, Limit, ExclusiveStartShardId)

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  StreamDescription = list(
    StreamArn = "string",
    StreamLabel = "string",
    StreamStatus = "ENABLING"|"ENABLED"|"DISABLING"|"DISABLED",
    StreamViewType = "NEW_IMAGE"|"OLD_IMAGE"|"NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES"|"KEYS_ONLY",
    CreationRequestDateTime = as.POSIXct(
      "2015-01-01"
    ),
    TableName = "string",
    KeySchema = list(
      list(
        AttributeName = "string",
        KeyType = "HASH"|"RANGE"
      )
    ),
    Shards = list(
      list(
        ShardId = "string",
        SequenceNumberRange = list(
          StartingSequenceNumber = "string",
          EndingSequenceNumber = "string"
        ),
        ParentShardId = "string"
      )
    ),
    LastEvaluatedShardId = "string"
  )
)

Arguments

StreamArn

[required] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the stream.

Limit

The maximum number of shard objects to return. The upper limit is 100.

ExclusiveStartShardId

The shard ID of the first item that this operation will evaluate. Use the value that was returned for LastEvaluatedShardId in the previous operation.

Request syntax

svc$describe_stream(
  StreamArn = "string",
  Limit = 123,
  ExclusiveStartShardId = "string"
)

Examples

Run this code
if (FALSE) {
# The following example describes a stream with a given stream ARN.
svc$describe_stream(
  StreamArn = "arn:aws:dynamodb:us-west-2:111122223333:table/Forum/stream/2..."
)
}
