Module Smaws_Client_DynamoDB.DescribeTable

val request : Smaws_Lib.Context.t -> describe_table_input -> (describe_table_output, [> Smaws_Lib.Protocols.AwsJson.error | `InternalServerError of internal_server_error | `InvalidEndpointException of invalid_endpoint_exception | `ResourceNotFoundException of resource_not_found_exception ]) Stdlib.result

Returns information about the table, including the current status of the table, when it was created, the primary key schema, and any indexes on the table.

For global tables, this operation only applies to global tables using Version 2019.11.21 (Current version).

If you issue a DescribeTable request immediately after a CreateTable request, DynamoDB might return a ResourceNotFoundException. This is because DescribeTable uses an eventually consistent query, and the metadata for your table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then try the DescribeTable request again.
