Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • Table (dict) –

      The Timestream table.

      • Arn (string) –

        The Amazon Resource Name that uniquely identifies this table.

      • TableName (string) –

        The name of the Timestream table.

      • DatabaseName (string) –

        The name of the Timestream database that contains this table.

      • TableStatus (string) –

        The current state of the table:

        • DELETING - The table is being deleted.

        • ACTIVE - The table is ready for use.

      • RetentionProperties (dict) –

        The retention duration for the memory store and magnetic store.

        • MemoryStoreRetentionPeriodInHours (integer) –

          The duration for which data must be stored in the memory store.

        • MagneticStoreRetentionPeriodInDays (integer) –

          The duration for which data must be stored in the magnetic store.

      • CreationTime (datetime) –

        The time when the Timestream table was created.

      • LastUpdatedTime (datetime) –

        The time when the Timestream table was last updated.

      • MagneticStoreWriteProperties (dict) –

        Contains properties to set on the table when enabling magnetic store writes.

        • EnableMagneticStoreWrites (boolean) –

          A flag to enable magnetic store writes.

        • MagneticStoreRejectedDataLocation (dict) –

          The location to write error reports for records rejected asynchronously during magnetic store writes.

          • S3Configuration (dict) –

            Configuration of an S3 location to write error reports for records rejected, asynchronously, during magnetic store writes.

            • BucketName (string) –

              The bucket name of the customer S3 bucket.

            • ObjectKeyPrefix (string) –

              The object key preview for the customer S3 location.

            • EncryptionOption (string) –

              The encryption option for the customer S3 location. Options are S3 server-side encryption with an S3 managed key or Amazon Web Services managed key.

        The schema of the table.

        • CompositePartitionKey (list) –

          A non-empty list of partition keys defining the attributes used to partition the table data. The order of the list determines the partition hierarchy.

          • (dict) –

            An attribute used in partitioning data in a table. A dimension key partitions data using the values of the dimension specified by the dimension-name as partition key, while a measure key partitions data using measure names (values of the ‘measure_name’ column).

            • Type (string) –

              The type of the partition key. Options are DIMENSION (dimension key) and MEASURE (measure key).

              The name of the attribute used for a dimension key.

            • EnforcementInRecord (string) –

              The level of enforcement for the specification of a dimension key in ingested records. Options are REQUIRED (dimension key must be specified) and OPTIONAL (dimension key does not have to be specified).
