totalSegments
For a parallel Scan
request, TotalSegments
represents the total number of segments into which the Scan
operation will be divided. The value of TotalSegments
corresponds to the number of application workers that will perform the parallel scan. For example, if you want to use four application threads to scan a table or an index, specify a TotalSegments
value of 4.
The value for TotalSegments
must be greater than or equal to 1, and less than or equal to 1000000. If you specify a TotalSegments
value of 1, the Scan
operation will be sequential rather than parallel.
If you specify TotalSegments
, you must also specify Segment
.
