unprocessedItems
A map of tables and requests against those tables that were not processed. The UnprocessedItems
value is in the same form as RequestItems
, so you can provide this value directly to a subsequent BatchWriteItem
operation. For more information, see RequestItems
in the Request Parameters section.
Each UnprocessedItems
entry consists of a table name and, for that table, a list of operations to perform (DeleteRequest
or PutRequest
).
DeleteRequest
- Perform aDeleteItem
operation on the specified item. The item to be deleted is identified by aKey
subelement:Key
- A map of primary key attribute values that uniquely identify the item. Each entry in this map consists of an attribute name and an attribute value.PutRequest
- Perform aPutItem
operation on the specified item. The item to be put is identified by anItem
subelement:Item
- A map of attributes and their values. Each entry in this map consists of an attribute name and an attribute value. Attribute values must not be null; string and binary type attributes must have lengths greater than zero; and set type attributes must not be empty. Requests that contain empty values will be rejected with aValidationException
exception.If you specify any attributes that are part of an index key, then the data types for those attributes must match those of the schema in the table's attribute definition.
If there are no unprocessed items remaining, the response contains an empty UnprocessedItems
map.
