EventEmitter to simplify dynamodb parallel scans

Features

  • EventEmitter pattern for dynamodb scan
  • Data event emitted for each record
  • Supports pause/resume of emitter
  • DynamoDb parallel scans supported

Installation

  $ npm install dynamodb-scan --save

Usage

'use strict';
 
var DynamoDbScan = require('dynamodb-scan');
 
 
var dynamoDbScan = new DynamoDbScan('awsAccessKey', 'awsSecret', 'awsRegion', 'tableName');
 
var count = 0;
 
dynamoDbScan.on('data', function(item) {
    count++;
    console.dir(item);
 
    if(count === 10)
    {
        dynamoDbScan.pause();
 
        setTimeout(function() {
            dynamoDbScan.resume();
        }, 5000);
    }
});
 
dynamoDbScan.on('finish', function() {
    console.info('Finish');
    process.exit(0);
});
 
dynamoDbScan.start();

Parallel Scans are useful to maximize usage of throughput provisioned on the DynamoDb table.

Documentation

Sets up the AWS credentials to use

Arguments

  • awsAccessKeyId - AWS access key if not provided falls back to whatever AWS SDK can find
  • awsSecretAccessKey - AWS secret if not provided falls back to whatever AWS SDK can find
  • awsRegion - AWS region if not provided falls back to whatever AWS SDK can find
  • tableName - Name of table to scan
  • options - Options
    • parallelScans - Number of parallel scans to run. Defaults to 1
    • maxRetries - Number of times to retry a failed dynamo db operation. Passed to aws-sdk.
