Apache Camel: AWS-DDB

DDB Component

Available as of Camel 2.10

The DynamoDB component supports storing and retrieving data from/to Amazon's DynamoDB service.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon DynamoDB. More information are available at Amazon DynamoDB.

URI Format

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&...

URI Options

Name	Default Value	Context	Description
amazonDDBClient	`null`	Producer	Reference to a `com.amazonaws.services.dynamodb.AmazonDynamoDB` in the Registry.
accessKey	`null`	Producer	Amazon AWS Access Key
secretKey	`null`	Producer	Amazon AWS Secret Key
amazonDdbEndpoint	`null`	Producer	The region with which the AWS-DDB client wants to work with.
tableName	`null`	Producer	The name of the table currently worked with.
readCapacity	`0`	Producer	The provisioned throughput to reserve for reading resources from your table
writeCapacity	`0`	Producer	The provisioned throughput to reserved for writing resources to your table
consistentRead	`false`	Producer	Determines whether or not strong consistency should be enforced when data is read.
operation	`PutAttributes`	Producer	Valid values are BatchGetItems, DeleteItem, DeleteTable, DescribeTable, GetItem, PutItem, Query, Scan, UpdateItem, UpdateTable.
proxyHost	`null`	Producer	Camel 2.16: Specify a proxy host to be used inside the client definition.

Required DDB component options

You have to provide the amazonDDBClient in the Registry or your accessKey and secretKey to access the Amazon's DynamoDB.

Usage

Message headers evaluated by the DDB producer

Header	Type	Description
`CamelAwsDdbBatchItems`	`Map<String, KeysAndAttributes>`	A map of the table name and corresponding items to get by primary key.
`CamelAwsDdbTableName`	`String`	Table Name for this operation.
`CamelAwsDdbKey`	`Key`	The primary key that uniquely identifies each item in a table. From Camel 2.16.0 the type of this header is Map<String, AttributeValue> and not Key
`CamelAwsDdbReturnValues`	`String`	Use this parameter if you want to get the attribute name-value pairs before or after they are modified(NONE, ALL_OLD, UPDATED_OLD, ALL_NEW, UPDATED_NEW).
`CamelAwsDdbUpdateCondition`	`Map<String, ExpectedAttributeValue>`	Designates an attribute for a conditional modification.
`CamelAwsDdbAttributeNames`	`Collection<String>`	If attribute names are not specified then all attributes will be returned.
`CamelAwsDdbConsistentRead`	`Boolean`	If set to true, then a consistent read is issued, otherwise eventually consistent is used.
`CamelAwsDdbItem`	`Map<String, AttributeValue>`	A map of the attributes for the item, and must include the primary key values that define the item.
`CamelAwsDdbExactCount`	`Boolean`	If set to true, Amazon DynamoDB returns a total number of items that match the query parameters, instead of a list of the matching items and their attributes. From Camel 2.16.0 this header doesn't exist anymore.
`CamelAwsDdbKeyConditions`	`Map<String, Condition>`	From Camel 2.16.0. This header specify the selection criteria for the query, and merge together the two old headers CamelAwsDdbHashKeyValue and CamelAwsDdbScanRangeKeyCondition
`CamelAwsDdbStartKey`	`Key`	Primary key of the item from which to continue an earlier query.
`CamelAwsDdbHashKeyValue`	`AttributeValue`	Value of the hash component of the composite primary key. From Camel 2.16.0 this header doesn't exist anymore.
`CamelAwsDdbLimit`	`Integer`	The maximum number of items to return.
`CamelAwsDdbScanRangeKeyCondition`	`Condition`	A container for the attribute values and comparison operators to use for the query. From Camel 2.16.0 this header doesn't exist anymore.
`CamelAwsDdbScanIndexForward`	`Boolean`	Specifies forward or backward traversal of the index.
`CamelAwsDdbScanFilter`	`Map<String, Condition>`	Evaluates the scan results and returns only the desired values.
`CamelAwsDdbUpdateValues`	`Map<String, AttributeValueUpdate>`	Map of attribute name to the new value and action for the update.

Advanced AmazonDynamoDB configuration

If you need more control over the AmazonDynamoDB instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:

The #client refers to a AmazonDynamoDB in the Registry.

For example if your Camel Application is running behind a firewall:
