Options

--keyspace-name (string)

The name of the keyspace.

--type-name (string)

The name of the user-defined type.

UDT names must contain 48 characters or less, must begin with an alphabetic character, and can only contain alpha-numeric characters and underscores. Amazon Keyspaces converts upper case characters automatically into lower case characters.

Alternatively, you can declare a UDT name in double quotes. When declaring a UDT name inside double quotes, Amazon Keyspaces preserves upper casing and allows special characters.

You can also use double quotes as part of the name when you create the UDT, but you must escape each double quote character with an additional double quote character.

--field-definitions (list)

The field definitions, consisting of names and types, that define this type.

(structure)

A field definition consists out of a name and a type.

name -> (string)

The identifier.

type -> (string)

Any supported Cassandra data type, including collections and other user-defined types that are contained in the same keyspace.

For more information, see Cassandra data type support in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide .

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string,type=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "name": "string",
    "type": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

keyspaceArn -> (string)

The unique identifier of the keyspace that contains the new type in the format of an Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

typeName -> (string)

The formatted name of the user-defined type that was created. Note that Amazon Keyspaces requires the formatted name of the type for other operations, for example GetType .
