ValidationException with Indexing stringSet in Vogels for DynamoDB

Here is my model definition:

var Notification = vogels.define('Notification', {
    tableName: 'notification',
    hashKey: 'notification_id',
    rangeKey: 'createdAt',
    timestamps: true,
    schema: {
        notification_id : vogels.types.uuid(),
        badge: joi.number().integer(),
        delay: joi.number(),
        action: joi.string(),
        body: joi.string(),
        tags: vogels.types.stringSet()
    },
    indexes: [{
        hashKey : 'tags',
        rangeKey: 'createdAt',
        name : 'TagsIndex',
        type : 'global'
    }]
});

However, when I want to create this table, I get the following error:

Error creating tables:  { [ValidationException: Member must satisfy enum value set: [B, N, S]]
  message: 'Member must satisfy enum value set: [B, N, S]',
  code: 'ValidationException',
  time: Thu May 12 2016 14:06:44 GMT-0700 (PDT),
  requestId: 'c775c989-c723-4d55-b319-731230a5991b',
  statusCode: 400,
  retryable: false,
  retryDelay: 0 }

The problem is with the index. I remove that, then it works fine.

Solution

  • The error occurred because you cannot use SET data type with Hash/Hash-Range keys.

    Only String, Number, and Binary data type can be used for Keys that is what error is suggesting.

    Documentation Link clearly mention that we cannot use set.

    Hope that helps.
