View Source AWS.Keyspaces (aws-elixir v1.0.7)
Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) is a scalable, highly available, and managed Apache Cassandra-compatible database service.
Amazon Keyspaces makes it easy to migrate, run, and scale Cassandra workloads in the Amazon Web Services Cloud. With just a few clicks on the Amazon Web Services Management Console or a few lines of code, you can create keyspaces and tables in Amazon Keyspaces, without deploying any infrastructure or installing software.
In addition to supporting Cassandra Query Language (CQL) requests via open-source Cassandra drivers, Amazon Keyspaces supports data definition language (DDL) operations to manage keyspaces and tables using the Amazon Web Services SDK and CLI, as well as infrastructure as code (IaC) services and tools such as CloudFormation and Terraform. This API reference describes the supported DDL operations in detail.
For the list of all supported CQL APIs, see Supported Cassandra APIs, operations, and data types in Amazon Keyspaces in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
To learn how Amazon Keyspaces API actions are recorded with CloudTrail, see Amazon Keyspaces information in CloudTrail in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
For more information about Amazon Web Services APIs, for example how to implement retry logic or how to sign Amazon Web Services API requests, see Amazon Web Services APIs in the General Reference.

The CreateKeyspace
operation adds a new keyspace to your account.
In an Amazon Web Services account, keyspace names must be unique within each Region.
CreateKeyspace
is an asynchronous operation. You can monitor the creation
status of the new keyspace by using the GetKeyspace
operation.
For more information, see Create a keyspace in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
The CreateTable
operation adds a new table to the specified keyspace.
Within a keyspace, table names must be unique.
CreateTable
is an asynchronous operation. When the request is received, the
status of the table is set to CREATING
. You can monitor the creation status of
the new table by using the GetTable
operation, which returns the current
status
of the table. You can start using a table when the status is ACTIVE
.
For more information, see Create a table in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
The CreateType
operation creates a new user-defined type in the specified
keyspace.
To configure the required permissions, see Permissions to create a UDT in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
For more information, see User-defined types (UDTs) in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
The DeleteKeyspace
operation deletes a keyspace and all of its tables.
The DeleteTable
operation deletes a table and all of its data.
After a DeleteTable
request is received, the specified table is in the
DELETING
state until Amazon Keyspaces completes the deletion. If the table is
in the ACTIVE
state, you can delete it. If a table is either in the CREATING
or UPDATING
states, then Amazon Keyspaces returns a ResourceInUseException
.
If the specified table does not exist, Amazon Keyspaces returns a
ResourceNotFoundException
. If the table is already in the DELETING
state, no
error is returned.
The DeleteType
operation deletes a user-defined type (UDT).
You can only delete a type that is not used in a table or another UDT.
To configure the required permissions, see Permissions to delete a UDT in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
Returns the name of the specified keyspace, the Amazon Resource Name (ARN), the
replication strategy, the Amazon Web Services Regions of a multi-Region
keyspace, and the status of newly added Regions after an UpdateKeyspace
operation.
Returns information about the table, including the table's name and current status, the keyspace name, configuration settings, and metadata.
To read table metadata using GetTable
, the IAM principal needs Select
action
permissions for the table and the system keyspace.
Returns auto scaling related settings of the specified table in JSON format.
If the table is a multi-Region table, the Amazon Web Services Region specific auto scaling settings of the table are included.
Amazon Keyspaces auto scaling helps you provision throughput capacity for variable workloads efficiently by increasing and decreasing your table's read and write capacity automatically in response to application traffic. For more information, see Managing throughput capacity automatically with Amazon Keyspaces auto scaling in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
GetTableAutoScalingSettings
can't be used as an action in an IAM policy.
To define permissions for GetTableAutoScalingSettings
, you must allow the
following two actions in the IAM policy statement's Action
element:
application-autoscaling:DescribeScalableTargets
application-autoscaling:DescribeScalingPolicies
The GetType
operation returns information about the type, for example the
field definitions, the timestamp when the type was last modified, the level of
nesting, the status, and details about if the type is used in other types and
tables.
To read keyspace metadata using GetType
, the IAM principal needs Select
action permissions for the system keyspace. To configure the required
permissions, see Permissions to view a UDT
in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
The ListKeyspaces
operation returns a list of keyspaces.
The ListTables
operation returns a list of tables for a specified keyspace.
To read keyspace metadata using ListTables
, the IAM principal needs Select
action permissions for the system keyspace.
Returns a list of all tags associated with the specified Amazon Keyspaces resource.
To read keyspace metadata using ListTagsForResource
, the IAM principal needs
Select
action permissions for the specified resource and the system keyspace.
The ListTypes
operation returns a list of types for a specified keyspace.
To read keyspace metadata using ListTypes
, the IAM principal needs Select
action permissions for the system keyspace. To configure the required
permissions, see Permissions to view a UDT
in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
Restores the table to the specified point in time within the
earliest_restorable_timestamp
and the current time.
For more information about restore points, see Time window for PITR continuous backups in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
Any number of users can execute up to 4 concurrent restores (any type of restore) in a given account.
When you restore using point in time recovery, Amazon Keyspaces restores your
source table's schema and data to the state based on the selected timestamp
(day:hour:minute:second)
to a new table. The Time to Live (TTL) settings are
also restored to the state based on the selected timestamp.
In addition to the table's schema, data, and TTL settings, RestoreTable
restores the capacity mode, auto scaling settings, encryption settings, and
point-in-time recovery settings from the source table. Unlike the table's schema
data and TTL settings, which are restored based on the selected timestamp, these
settings are always restored based on the table's settings as of the current
time or when the table was deleted.
You can also overwrite these settings during restore:
Read/write capacity mode
Provisioned throughput capacity units
Auto scaling settings
Point-in-time (PITR) settings
Tags
For more information, see PITR restore settings in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
Note that the following settings are not restored, and you must configure them manually for the new table:
Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies
Amazon CloudWatch metrics and alarms
Associates a set of tags with a Amazon Keyspaces resource.
You can then activate these user-defined tags so that they appear on the Cost Management Console for cost allocation tracking. For more information, see Adding tags and labels to Amazon Keyspaces resources in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
For IAM policy examples that show how to control access to Amazon Keyspaces resources based on tags, see Amazon Keyspaces resource access based on tags in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
Removes the association of tags from a Amazon Keyspaces resource.
Adds a new Amazon Web Services Region to the keyspace.
You can add a new Region to a keyspace that is either a single or a multi-Region
keyspace. Amazon Keyspaces is going to replicate all tables in the keyspace to
the new Region. To successfully replicate all tables to the new Region, they
must use client-side timestamps for conflict resolution. To enable client-side
timestamps, specify clientSideTimestamps.status = enabled
when invoking the
API. For more information about client-side timestamps, see Client-side timestamps in Amazon
Keyspaces
in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
To add a Region to a keyspace using the UpdateKeyspace
API, the IAM principal
needs permissions for the following IAM actions:
cassandra:Alter
cassandra:AlterMultiRegionResource
cassandra:Create
cassandra:CreateMultiRegionResource
cassandra:Select
cassandra:SelectMultiRegionResource
cassandra:Modify
cassandra:ModifyMultiRegionResource
If the keyspace contains a table that is configured in provisioned mode with auto scaling enabled, the following additional IAM actions need to be allowed.
application-autoscaling:RegisterScalableTarget
application-autoscaling:DeregisterScalableTarget
application-autoscaling:DescribeScalableTargets
application-autoscaling:PutScalingPolicy
application-autoscaling:DescribeScalingPolicies
To use the UpdateKeyspace
API, the IAM principal also needs permissions to
create a service-linked role with the following elements:
iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole
- The action the principal can perform.
`arn:aws:iam:::role/aws-service-role/replication.cassandra.amazonaws.com/AWSServiceRoleForKeyspacesReplication`
- The resource that the action can be performed on.
iam:AWSServiceName: replication.cassandra.amazonaws.com
- The only Amazon Web Services service that this role can be attached to is Amazon Keyspaces.
For more information, see Configure the IAM permissions required to add an Amazon Web Services Region to a keyspace in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
Adds new columns to the table or updates one of the table's settings, for example capacity mode, auto scaling, encryption, point-in-time recovery, or ttl settings.
Note that you can only update one specific table setting per update operation.
