CreateTable

The CreateTable operation adds a new table to the specified keyspace. Within a keyspace, table names must be unique.

CreateTable is an asynchronous operation. When the request is received, the status of the table is set to CREATING. You can monitor the creation status of the new table by using the GetTable operation, which returns the current status of the table. You can start using a table when the status is ACTIVE.

For more information, see Creating tables in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

autoScalingSpecification

The optional auto scaling settings for a table in provisioned capacity mode. Specifies if the service can manage throughput capacity automatically on your behalf.

Auto scaling helps you provision throughput capacity for variable workloads efficiently by increasing and decreasing your table's read and write capacity automatically in response to application traffic. For more information, see Managing throughput capacity automatically with Amazon Keyspaces auto scaling in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.

By default, auto scaling is disabled for a table.

Type: AutoScalingSpecification object

Required: No

capacitySpecification

Specifies the read/write throughput capacity mode for the table. The options are:

throughputMode:PAY_PER_REQUEST and
throughputMode:PROVISIONED - Provisioned capacity mode requires readCapacityUnits and writeCapacityUnits as input.

The default is throughput_mode:PAY_PER_REQUEST.

For more information, see Read/write capacity modes in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.

Type: CapacitySpecification object

Required: No

clientSideTimestamps

Enables client-side timestamps for the table. By default, the setting is disabled. You can enable client-side timestamps with the following option:

status: "enabled"

Once client-side timestamps are enabled for a table, this setting cannot be disabled.

Type: ClientSideTimestamps object

Required: No

comment

This parameter allows to enter a description of the table.

Type: Comment object

Required: No

defaultTimeToLive

The default Time to Live setting in seconds for the table.

For more information, see Setting the default TTL value for a table in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 630720000.

Required: No

encryptionSpecification

Specifies how the encryption key for encryption at rest is managed for the table. You can choose one of the following KMS key (KMS key):

type:AWS_OWNED_KMS_KEY - This key is owned by Amazon Keyspaces.
type:CUSTOMER_MANAGED_KMS_KEY - This key is stored in your account and is created, owned, and managed by you. This option requires the kms_key_identifier of the KMS key in Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format as input.

The default is type:AWS_OWNED_KMS_KEY.

For more information, see Encryption at rest in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.

Type: EncryptionSpecification object

Required: No

keyspaceName

The name of the keyspace that the table is going to be created in.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 48.

Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_]{0,47}

Required: Yes

pointInTimeRecovery

Specifies if pointInTimeRecovery is enabled or disabled for the table. The options are:

status=ENABLED
status=DISABLED

If it's not specified, the default is status=DISABLED.

For more information, see Point-in-time recovery in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.

Type: PointInTimeRecovery object

Required: No

replicaSpecifications

The optional AWS Region specific settings of a multi-Region table. These settings overwrite the general settings of the table for the specified Region.

For a multi-Region table in provisioned capacity mode, you can configure the table's read capacity differently for each Region's replica. The write capacity, however, remains synchronized between all replicas to ensure that there's enough capacity to replicate writes across all Regions. To define the read capacity for a table replica in a specific Region, you can do so by configuring the following parameters.

region: The Region where these settings are applied. (Required)
readCapacityUnits: The provisioned read capacity units. (Optional)
readCapacityAutoScaling: The read capacity auto scaling settings for the table. (Optional)

Type: Array of ReplicaSpecification objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item.

Required: No

schemaDefinition

The schemaDefinition consists of the following parameters.

For each column to be created:

name - The name of the column.
type - An Amazon Keyspaces data type. For more information, see Data types in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.

The primary key of the table consists of the following columns:

partitionKeys - The partition key can be a single column, or it can be a compound value composed of two or more columns. The partition key portion of the primary key is required and determines how Amazon Keyspaces stores your data.
name - The name of each partition key column.
clusteringKeys - The optional clustering column portion of your primary key determines how the data is clustered and sorted within each partition.
name - The name of the clustering column.
orderBy - Sets the ascendant (ASC) or descendant (DESC) order modifier.

To define a column as static use staticColumns - Static columns store values that are shared by all rows in the same partition:
name - The name of the column.
type - An Amazon Keyspaces data type.

Type: SchemaDefinition object

Required: Yes

tableName

The name of the table.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 48.

Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_]{0,47}

Required: Yes

tags

A list of key-value pair tags to be attached to the resource.

For more information, see Adding tags and labels to Amazon Keyspaces resources in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 60 items.

Required: No

ttl

Enables Time to Live custom settings for the table. The options are:

status:enabled
status:disabled

The default is status:disabled. After ttl is enabled, you can't disable it for the table.

For more information, see Expiring data by using Amazon Keyspaces Time to Live (TTL) in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.

Type: TimeToLive object

Required: No
