Quotas for Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra)

This section describes current quotas and default values for Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra).

Amazon Keyspaces service quotas

The following table contains Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) quotas and the default values. Information about which quotas can be adjusted is available in the Service Quotas console, where you can also request quota increases. For more information on quotas, contact AWS Support.

Quota	Description	Amazon Keyspaces default
Max keyspaces per AWS Region	The maximum number of keyspaces for this subscriber per Region. You can adjust this default value in the Service Quotas console.	256
Max tables per AWS Region	The maximum number of tables across all keyspaces for this subscriber per Region. You can adjust this default value in the Service Quotas console.	256
Max table schema size	The maximum size of a table schema.	350 KB
Max concurrent DDL operations	The maximum number of concurrent DDL operations allowed for this subscriber per Region.	50
Max queries per connection	The maximum number of CQL queries that can be processed by a single client TCP connection per second.	3000
Max row size	The maximum size of a row, excluding static column data. For details, see Calculating row size in Amazon Keyspaces.	1 MB
Max number of columns in INSERT and UPDATE statements	The maximum number of columns allowed in CQL INSERT or UPDATE statements. An INSERT or UPDATE statement supports up to 225 regular columns when Time to Live (TTL) is turned off. If TTL is turned on, up to 166 regular columns can be modified in a single operation.	225/166
Max static data per logical partition	The maximum aggregate size of static data in a logical partition. For details, see Calculating static column size per logical partition in Amazon Keyspaces.	1 MB
Max subqueries per IN SELECT statement	The maximum number of subqueries you can use for the IN keyword in a SELECT statement. You can adjust this default value in the Service Quotas console.	100
Max number of nested frozen collections per AWS Region	The maximum number of nested collections supported when you're using the FROZEN keyword for a column with a collection data type. For more information about frozen collections, see Collection types. To increase the nesting level, contact AWS Support.	5
Max read throughput per second	The maximum read throughput per second—read request units (RRUs) or read capacity units (RCUs)—that can be allocated to a table per Region. You can adjust this default value in the Service Quotas console.	40,000
Max write throughput per second	The maximum write throughput per second—write request units (WRUs) or write capacity units (WCUs)—that can be allocated to a table per Region. You can adjust this default value in the Service Quotas console.	40,000
Account-level read throughput (provisioned)	The maximum number of aggregate read capacity units (RCUs) allocated for the account per Region. This is applicable only for tables in provisioned read/write capacity mode. You can adjust this default value in the Service Quotas console.	80,000
Account-level write throughput (provisioned)	The maximum number of aggregate write capacity units (WCU) allocated for the account per Region. This is applicable only for tables in provisioned read/write capacity mode. You can adjust this default value in the Service Quotas console.	80,000
Max number of scalable targets per Region per account	The maximum number of scalable targets for the account per Region. An Amazon Keyspaces table counts as one scalable target if auto scaling is enabled for read capacity, and as another scalable target if auto scaling is enabled for write capacity. You can adjust this default value in the Service Quotas console for Application Auto Scaling by choosing Scalable targets for Amazon Keyspaces.	1,500
Max partition key size	The maximum size of the compound partition key. Up to 3 bytes of additional storage are added to the raw size of each column included in the partition key for metadata.	2048 bytes
Max clustering key size	The maximum combined size of all clustering columns. Up to 4 bytes of additional storage are added to the raw size of each clustering column for metadata.	850 bytes
Max concurrent table restores using Point-in-time Recovery (PITR)	The maximum number of concurrent table restores using PITR per subscriber is 4. You can adjust this default value in the Service Quotas console.	4
Max amount of data restored using point-in-time recovery (PITR)	The maximum size of data that can be restored using PITR within 24 hours. You can adjust this default value in the Service Quotas console.	5 TB

Increasing or decreasing throughput (for provisioned tables)

Increasing provisioned throughput

You can increase ReadCapacityUnits or WriteCapacityUnits as often as necessary by using the console or the ALTER TABLE statement. The new settings don't take effect until the ALTER TABLE operation is complete.

You can't exceed your per-account quotas when you add provisioned capacity. And you can increase the provisioned capacity for your tables as much as you need. For more information about per-account quotas, see the preceding section, Amazon Keyspaces service quotas.

Decreasing provisioned throughput

For every table in an ALTER TABLE statement, you can decrease ReadCapacityUnits or WriteCapacityUnits (or both). The new settings don't take effect until the ALTER TABLE operation is complete.

A decrease is allowed up to four times, anytime per day. A day is defined according to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Additionally, if there was no decrease in the past hour, an additional decrease is allowed. This effectively brings the maximum number of decreases in a day to 27 (4 decreases in the first hour, and 1 decrease for each of the subsequent 1-hour windows in a day).

Amazon Keyspaces encryption at rest

You can change encryption options between an AWS owned AWS KMS key and a customer managed AWS KMS key up to four times within a 24-hour window, on a per table basis, starting from when the table was created. If there was no change in the past six hours, an additional change is allowed. This effectively brings the maximum number of changes in a day to eight (four changes in the first six hours, and one change for each of the subsequent six-hour windows in a day).

You can change the encryption option to use an AWS owned AWS KMS key as often as necessary, even if the earlier quota has been exhausted.

These are the quotas unless you request a higher amount. To request a service quota increase, see AWS Support.
