    public interface AmazonSimpleDB
    Interface for accessing Amazon SimpleDB.

    Amazon SimpleDB is a web service providing the core database functions of data indexing and querying in the cloud. By offloading the time and effort associated with building and operating a web-scale database, SimpleDB provides developers the freedom to focus on application development.

    A traditional, clustered relational database requires a sizable upfront capital outlay, is complex to design, and often requires extensive and repetitive database administration. Amazon SimpleDB is dramatically simpler, requiring no schema, automatically indexing your data and providing a simple API for storage and access. This approach eliminates the administrative burden of data modeling, index maintenance, and performance tuning. Developers gain access to this functionality within Amazon's proven computing environment, are able to scale instantly, and pay only for what they use.

    • Method Detail

      • setEndpoint

        void setEndpoint​(String endpoint)
        Overrides the default endpoint for this client ("sdb.amazonaws.com"). Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

        Callers can pass in just the endpoint (ex: "sdb.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "sdb.amazonaws.com"). If the protocol is not specified here, the default protocol from this client's ClientConfiguration will be used, which by default is HTTPS.

        For more information on using AWS regions with the AWS SDK for Java, and a complete list of all available endpoints for all AWS services, see: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID= 3912

        This method is not threadsafe. An endpoint should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.

        Parameters:
        endpoint - The endpoint (ex: "sdb.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "sdb.amazonaws.com") of the region specific AWS endpoint this client will communicate with.
      • batchDeleteAttributes

        BatchDeleteAttributesResult batchDeleteAttributes​(BatchDeleteAttributesRequest batchDeleteAttributesRequest)

        Performs multiple DeleteAttributes operations in a single call, which reduces round trips and latencies. This enables Amazon SimpleDB to optimize requests, which generally yields better throughput.

        The following limitations are enforced for this operation:

        • 1 MB request size
        • 25 item limit per BatchDeleteAttributes operation

        Parameters:
        batchDeleteAttributesRequest -
        Returns:
        Result of the BatchDeleteAttributes operation returned by the service.
      • batchPutAttributes

        BatchPutAttributesResult batchPutAttributes​(BatchPutAttributesRequest batchPutAttributesRequest)

        The BatchPutAttributes operation creates or replaces attributes within one or more items. By using this operation, the client can perform multiple PutAttribute operation with a single call. This helps yield savings in round trips and latencies, enabling Amazon SimpleDB to optimize requests and generally produce better throughput.

        The client may specify the item name with the Item.X.ItemName parameter. The client may specify new attributes using a combination of the Item.X.Attribute.Y.Name and Item.X.Attribute.Y.Value parameters. The client may specify the first attribute for the first item using the parameters Item.0.Attribute.0.Name and Item.0.Attribute.0.Value, and for the second attribute for the first item by the parameters Item.0.Attribute.1.Name and Item.0.Attribute.1.Value, and so on.

        Attributes are uniquely identified within an item by their name/value combination. For example, a single item can have the attributes { "first_name", "first_value" } and { "first_name", "second_value" }. However, it cannot have two attribute instances where both the Item.X.Attribute.Y.Name and Item.X.Attribute.Y.Value are the same.

        Optionally, the requester can supply the Replace parameter for each individual value. Setting this value to true will cause the new attribute values to replace the existing attribute values. For example, if an item I has the attributes { 'a', '1' }, { 'b', '2'} and { 'b', '3' } and the requester does a BatchPutAttributes of {'I', 'b', '4' } with the Replace parameter set to true, the final attributes of the item will be { 'a', '1' } and { 'b', '4' }, replacing the previous values of the 'b' attribute with the new value.

        This operation is vulnerable to exceeding the maximum URL size when making a REST request using the HTTP GET method. This operation does not support conditions using Expected.X.Name, Expected.X.Value, or Expected.X.Exists.

        You can execute multiple BatchPutAttributes operations and other operations in parallel. However, large numbers of concurrent BatchPutAttributes calls can result in Service Unavailable (503) responses.

        The following limitations are enforced for this operation:

        • 256 attribute name-value pairs per item
        • 1 MB request size
        • 1 billion attributes per domain
        • 10 GB of total user data storage per domain
        • 25 item limit per BatchPutAttributes operation

        Parameters:
        batchPutAttributesRequest -
        Returns:
        Result of the BatchPutAttributes operation returned by the service.
        Throws:
        DuplicateItemNameException - The item name was specified more than once.
        InvalidParameterValueException - The value for a parameter is invalid.
        MissingParameterException - The request must contain the specified missing parameter.
        NoSuchDomainException - The specified domain does not exist.
        NumberItemAttributesExceededException - Too many attributes in this item.
        NumberDomainAttributesExceededException - Too many attributes in this domain.
        NumberDomainBytesExceededException - Too many bytes in this domain.
        NumberSubmittedItemsExceededException - Too many items exist in a single call.
        NumberSubmittedAttributesExceededException - Too many attributes exist in a single call.
      • deleteAttributes

        DeleteAttributesResult deleteAttributes​(DeleteAttributesRequest deleteAttributesRequest)

        Deletes one or more attributes associated with an item. If all attributes of the item are deleted, the item is deleted.

        DeleteAttributes is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same item or attribute does not result in an error response.

        Because Amazon SimpleDB makes multiple copies of item data and uses an eventual consistency update model, performing a GetAttributes or Select operation (read) immediately after a DeleteAttributes or PutAttributes operation (write) might not return updated item data.

        Parameters:
        deleteAttributesRequest -
        Returns:
        Result of the DeleteAttributes operation returned by the service.
        Throws:
        InvalidParameterValueException - The value for a parameter is invalid.
        MissingParameterException - The request must contain the specified missing parameter.
        NoSuchDomainException - The specified domain does not exist.
        AttributeDoesNotExistException - The specified attribute does not exist.
      • deleteDomain

        DeleteDomainResult deleteDomain​(DeleteDomainRequest deleteDomainRequest)

        The DeleteDomain operation deletes a domain. Any items (and their attributes) in the domain are deleted as well. The DeleteDomain operation might take 10 or more seconds to complete.

        Parameters:
        deleteDomainRequest -
        Returns:
        Result of the DeleteDomain operation returned by the service.
        Throws:
        MissingParameterException - The request must contain the specified missing parameter.
      • domainMetadata

        DomainMetadataResult domainMetadata​(DomainMetadataRequest domainMetadataRequest)

        Returns information about the domain, including when the domain was created, the number of items and attributes in the domain, and the size of the attribute names and values.

        Parameters:
        domainMetadataRequest -
        Returns:
        Result of the DomainMetadata operation returned by the service.
        Throws:
        MissingParameterException - The request must contain the specified missing parameter.
        NoSuchDomainException - The specified domain does not exist.
      • getAttributes

        GetAttributesResult getAttributes​(GetAttributesRequest getAttributesRequest)

        Returns all of the attributes associated with the specified item. Optionally, the attributes returned can be limited to one or more attributes by specifying an attribute name parameter.

        If the item does not exist on the replica that was accessed for this operation, an empty set is returned. The system does not return an error as it cannot guarantee the item does not exist on other replicas.

        Parameters:
        getAttributesRequest -
        Returns:
        Result of the GetAttributes operation returned by the service.
        Throws:
        InvalidParameterValueException - The value for a parameter is invalid.
        MissingParameterException - The request must contain the specified missing parameter.
        NoSuchDomainException - The specified domain does not exist.
      • listDomains

        ListDomainsResult listDomains​(ListDomainsRequest listDomainsRequest)

        The ListDomains operation lists all domains associated with the Access Key ID. It returns domain names up to the limit set by MaxNumberOfDomains. A NextToken is returned if there are more than MaxNumberOfDomains domains. Calling ListDomains successive times with the NextToken provided by the operation returns up to MaxNumberOfDomains more domain names with each successive operation call.

        Parameters:
        listDomainsRequest -
        Returns:
        Result of the ListDomains operation returned by the service.
        Throws:
        InvalidParameterValueException - The value for a parameter is invalid.
        InvalidNextTokenException - The specified NextToken is not valid.
      • putAttributes

        PutAttributesResult putAttributes​(PutAttributesRequest putAttributesRequest)

        The PutAttributes operation creates or replaces attributes in an item. The client may specify new attributes using a combination of the Attribute.X.Name and Attribute.X.Value parameters. The client specifies the first attribute by the parameters Attribute.0.Name and Attribute.0.Value, the second attribute by the parameters Attribute.1.Name and Attribute.1.Value, and so on.

        Attributes are uniquely identified in an item by their name/value combination. For example, a single item can have the attributes { "first_name", "first_value" } and { "first_name", second_value" }. However, it cannot have two attribute instances where both the Attribute.X.Name and Attribute.X.Value are the same.

        Optionally, the requestor can supply the Replace parameter for each individual attribute. Setting this value to true causes the new attribute value to replace the existing attribute value(s). For example, if an item has the attributes { 'a', '1' }, { 'b', '2'} and { 'b', '3' } and the requestor calls PutAttributes using the attributes { 'b', '4' } with the Replace parameter set to true, the final attributes of the item are changed to { 'a', '1' } and { 'b', '4' }, which replaces the previous values of the 'b' attribute with the new value.

        You cannot specify an empty string as an attribute name.

        Because Amazon SimpleDB makes multiple copies of client data and uses an eventual consistency update model, an immediate GetAttributes or Select operation (read) immediately after a PutAttributes or DeleteAttributes operation (write) might not return the updated data.

        The following limitations are enforced for this operation:

        • 256 total attribute name-value pairs per item
        • One billion attributes per domain
        • 10 GB of total user data storage per domain

        Parameters:
        putAttributesRequest -
        Returns:
        Result of the PutAttributes operation returned by the service.
        Throws:
        InvalidParameterValueException - The value for a parameter is invalid.
        MissingParameterException - The request must contain the specified missing parameter.
        NoSuchDomainException - The specified domain does not exist.
        NumberDomainAttributesExceededException - Too many attributes in this domain.
        NumberDomainBytesExceededException - Too many bytes in this domain.
        NumberItemAttributesExceededException - Too many attributes in this item.
        AttributeDoesNotExistException - The specified attribute does not exist.
      • select

        SelectResult select​(SelectRequest selectRequest)

        The Select operation returns a set of attributes for ItemNames that match the select expression. Select is similar to the standard SQL SELECT statement.

        The total size of the response cannot exceed 1 MB in total size. Amazon SimpleDB automatically adjusts the number of items returned per page to enforce this limit. For example, if the client asks to retrieve 2500 items, but each individual item is 10 kB in size, the system returns 100 items and an appropriate NextToken so the client can access the next page of results.

        For information on how to construct select expressions, see Using Select to Create Amazon SimpleDB Queries in the Developer Guide.

        Parameters:
        selectRequest -
        Returns:
        Result of the Select operation returned by the service.
        Throws:
        InvalidParameterValueException - The value for a parameter is invalid.
        InvalidNextTokenException - The specified NextToken is not valid.
        InvalidNumberPredicatesException - Too many predicates exist in the query expression.
        InvalidNumberValueTestsException - Too many predicates exist in the query expression.
        InvalidQueryExpressionException - The specified query expression syntax is not valid.
        MissingParameterException - The request must contain the specified missing parameter.
        NoSuchDomainException - The specified domain does not exist.
        RequestTimeoutException - A timeout occurred when attempting to query the specified domain with specified query expression.
        TooManyRequestedAttributesException - Too many attributes requested.
