Delete by Hashkey Using DynamoDB Mapper (Guide w/ Code Examples)

Provided by Rafal Wilinski
Deleting an item in a table using only the partition key is called a "delete by hash key" operation. In Java, you can use the DynamoDBMapper
class to perform a delete by hash key, by creating an instance of the domain class you want to delete and specifying the primary key value.
In the following code, the DynamoDBMapper
class is used to perform a delete by hash key, by creating an instance of the Product
domain class, specifying the primary key value, and then calling the delete
method. The delete
method accepts an instance of the domain class object, and it works by checking the primary key value, if the primary key value is present in the item, the item will be deleted.
import com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.datamodeling.DynamoDBMapper; public class DeleteByHashKeyExample { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a new DynamoDBMapper AmazonDynamoDB client = AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder.standard().build(); DynamoDBMapper mapper = new DynamoDBMapper(client); // Define the hash key value to delete String hashKeyValue = "123"; // Define the item to delete Product itemToDelete = new Product(); itemToDelete.setId(hashKeyValue); // Perform the delete mapper.delete(itemToDelete); } }
