Returns a shard iterator

Description

Returns a shard iterator. A shard iterator provides information about how to retrieve the stream records from within a shard. Use the shard iterator in a subsequent get_records request to read the stream records from the shard.

See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/dynamodbstreams_get_shard_iterator/ for full documentation.

Usage

dynamodbstreams_get_shard_iterator(
  StreamArn,
  ShardId,
  ShardIteratorType,
  SequenceNumber = NULL
)

Arguments

StreamArn

[required] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the stream.

ShardId

[required] The identifier of the shard. The iterator will be returned for this shard ID.

ShardIteratorType

[required] Determines how the shard iterator is used to start reading stream records from the shard:

  • AT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER - Start reading exactly from the position denoted by a specific sequence number.

  • AFTER_SEQUENCE_NUMBER - Start reading right after the position denoted by a specific sequence number.

  • TRIM_HORIZON - Start reading at the last (untrimmed) stream record, which is the oldest record in the shard. In DynamoDB Streams, there is a 24 hour limit on data retention. Stream records whose age exceeds this limit are subject to removal (trimming) from the stream.

  • LATEST - Start reading just after the most recent stream record in the shard, so that you always read the most recent data in the shard.

SequenceNumber

The sequence number of a stream record in the shard from which to start reading.
