DynamoDB error: key element does not match the schema
The provided key element does not match the schema occurs when getting or deleting a record without providing all the proper key elements.
How to fix the error
If your DynamoDB schema includes a partition/hash key and a range/sort key, you must specify both attributes.
Given the schema:
1{
2 "pk": "test_pk",
3 "sk": "test_sk"
4}Python Boto3:
1import boto3
2
3dynamodb = boto3.resource("dynamodb")
4table = dynamodb.Table("test")
5table.get_item(
6 Key={
7 "pk": "test_pk",
8 "sk": "test_sk"
9 }
10)
11
12table.delete_item(
13 Key={
14 "pk": "test_pk",
15 "sk": "test_sk",
16 "other": "test"
17 }
