Updates the provisioned throughput for the given table. Setting the throughput for a table helps you manage performance and is part of the provisioned throughput feature of Amazon DynamoDB.
The provisioned throughput values can be upgraded or downgraded based on the maximums and minimums listed in the Limits section in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
The table must be in the ACTIVE
state for this operation to succeed. UpdateTable is an asynchronous operation; while executing the operation, the table is in the UPDATING
state. While the table is in the UPDATING
state, the table still has the provisioned throughput from before the call. The new provisioned throughput setting is in effect only when the table returns to the ACTIVE
state after the UpdateTable operation.
You cannot add, modify or delete local secondary indexes using UpdateTable . Local secondary indexes can only be defined at table creation time.
