GlobalSecondaryIndexDescription

Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the index.

The name of the global secondary index.

The total size of the specified index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

The current state of the global secondary index:

The number of items in the specified index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

The complete key schema for a global secondary index, which consists of one or more pairs of attribute names and key types:

The maximum number of read and write units for the specified global secondary index. If you use this parameter, you must specify MaxReadRequestUnits, MaxWriteRequestUnits, or both.

Represents attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the global secondary index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected.

Represents the provisioned throughput settings for the specified global secondary index.

Represents the warm throughput value (in read units per second and write units per second) for the specified secondary index.
