Is it possible to update the hash key in amazon dynamo db

Question

I want to update the hash key value in the amazon dynamo db table. I also have a range key in the same table. Is it possible to do this?

Answer 1

You cannot update the value of the hash key, you will need to delete and recreate the item.

Here is the relevant aws documentation http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/APIReference/API_AttributeValueUpdate.html
