# aws_dynamodb_stream{% #aws_dynamodb_stream %}

## `account_id`{% #account_id %}

**Type**: `STRING`

## `creation_request_date_time`{% #creation_request_date_time %}

**Type**: `TIMESTAMP`**Provider name**: `CreationRequestDateTime`**Description**: The date and time when the request to create this stream was issued.

## `key_schema`{% #key_schema %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT`**Provider name**: `KeySchema`**Description**: The key attribute(s) of the stream's DynamoDB table.

- `attribute_name`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `AttributeName`**Description**: The name of a key attribute.
- `key_type`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `KeyType`**Description**: The role that this key attribute will assume:
  - `HASH` - partition key
  - `RANGE` - sort key
The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

## `last_evaluated_shard_id`{% #last_evaluated_shard_id %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `LastEvaluatedShardId`**Description**: The shard ID of the item where the operation stopped, inclusive of the previous result set. Use this value to start a new operation, excluding this value in the new request. If `LastEvaluatedShardId` is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is currently no more data to be retrieved. If `LastEvaluatedShardId` is not empty, it does not necessarily mean that there is more data in the result set. The only way to know when you have reached the end of the result set is when `LastEvaluatedShardId` is empty.

## `shards`{% #shards %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT`**Provider name**: `Shards`**Description**: The shards that comprise the stream.

- `parent_shard_id`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `ParentShardId`**Description**: The shard ID of the current shard's parent.
- `sequence_number_range`**Type**: `STRUCT`**Provider name**: `SequenceNumberRange`**Description**: The range of possible sequence numbers for the shard.
  - `ending_sequence_number`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `EndingSequenceNumber`**Description**: The last sequence number for the stream records contained within a shard. String contains numeric characters only.
  - `starting_sequence_number`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `StartingSequenceNumber`**Description**: The first sequence number for the stream records contained within a shard. String contains numeric characters only.
- `shard_id`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `ShardId`**Description**: The system-generated identifier for this shard.

## `stream_arn`{% #stream_arn %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `StreamArn`**Description**: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the stream.

## `stream_label`{% #stream_label %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `StreamLabel`**Description**: A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream. Note that `LatestStreamLabel` is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:

- the Amazon Web Services customer ID.
- the table name
- the `StreamLabel`



## `stream_status`{% #stream_status %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `StreamStatus`**Description**: Indicates the current status of the stream:

- `ENABLING` - Streams is currently being enabled on the DynamoDB table.
- `ENABLED` - the stream is enabled.
- `DISABLING` - Streams is currently being disabled on the DynamoDB table.
- `DISABLED` - the stream is disabled.



## `stream_view_type`{% #stream_view_type %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `StreamViewType`**Description**: Indicates the format of the records within this stream:

- `KEYS_ONLY` - only the key attributes of items that were modified in the DynamoDB table.
- `NEW_IMAGE` - entire items from the table, as they appeared after they were modified.
- `OLD_IMAGE` - entire items from the table, as they appeared before they were modified.
- `NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES` - both the new and the old images of the items from the table.



## `table_name`{% #table_name %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `TableName`**Description**: The DynamoDB table with which the stream is associated.

## `tags`{% #tags %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRING`
