使用Ruby了解AWS DynamoDB中的属性

我似乎无法围绕DynamoDB的AWS Ruby SDK文档(或者更具体地说是DynamoDB数据模型的概念)。

具体来说,我一直在阅读:http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSRubySDK/latest/frames.html#!AWS/DynamoDB.html

  

注意:我也阅读了数据模型文档,但它仍然没有下沉;我希望在Ruby中有一个恰当的例子来清除我的困惑

在下面的代码片段中,我创建了一个名为" my_books"的表。它有一个名为" item_id"的primary_key;它是一个哈希键(不是哈希/范围组合)......

dyn = AWS::DynamoDB::Client::V20120810.new
# => #<AWS::DynamoDB::Client::V20120810>

dyn.create_table({
  :attribute_definitions => [
    { :attribute_name => "item_id", :attribute_type => "N" }
  ],
  :table_name => "my_books",
  :key_schema => [
    { :attribute_name => "item_id", :key_type => "HASH" },
  ],
  :provisioned_throughput => {
    :read_capacity_units  => 10,
    :write_capacity_units => 10
  }
})
# => {:table_description=>{:attribute_definitions=>[{:attribute_name=>"item_id", :attribute_type=>"N"}], :table_name=>"my_books", :key_schema=>[{:attribute_name=>"item_id", :key_type=>"HASH"}], :table_status=>"ACTIVE", :creation_date_time=>2014-11-24 16:59:47 +0000, :provisioned_throughput=>{:number_of_decreases_today=>0, :read_capacity_units=>10, :write_capacity_units=>10}, :table_size_bytes=>0, :item_count=>0}}

dyn.list_tables
# => {:table_names=>["my_books"]}

dyn.scan :table_name => "my_books"
# => {:member=>[], :count=>0, :scanned_count=>0}

然后我尝试使用新项目填充表格。我的理解是我应该为item_id(这是主键)指定数值,然后我可以为新项目/记录/文档指定其他属性我添加到表格中......

dyn.put_item(
  :table_name => "my_books",
  :item => {
    "item_id" => 1,
    "item_title" => "My Book Title",
    "item_released" => false
  }
)

但是最后一个命令返回以下错误:

expected hash value for value at key item_id of option item

因此,虽然我不太了解哈希将会是什么,但我尝试这样做:

dyn.put_item(
  :table_name => "my_books",
  :item => {
    "item_id" => { "N" => 1 },
    "item_title" => "My Book Title",
    "item_released" => false
  }
)

但现在返回以下错误......

expected string value for key N of value at key item_id of option item

我尝试了不同的变体,但似乎无法弄清楚它是如何工作的?


编辑/更新:根据Uri Agassi的建议 - 我将值从1更改为"1"。我不确定为什么这必须被引用,因为我已经将类型定义为数字而不是字符串,但是好吧让我们接受这个和继续前进。

我终于找到了理解DynamoDB数据模型和使用Ruby SDK所需的大部分内容。

下面是我的示例代码,希望能帮助其他人,我在这里有一个完整的示例:https://gist.github.com/Integralist/9f9f2215e001b15ac492#file-3-dynamodb-irb-session-rb
