DynamoDB Deep Dive: NoSQL for Software Engineers


# Creating a LSI
Let's take an example that requires strong consistency. Imagine a simple game table, `FightClubGame`. This table consists of three attributes, namely: `GameId`, `PlayerId`, and `Score`.

GameId|PlayerId|Score
--|--|-
"1"|"a"|150
"1"|"b"|35
"1"|"c"|50
"1"|"d"|45
"2"|"d"|10
...|...|...
 
Let's support the following two access patterns.
1. Fetch the score for a player in a particular game.

2. Fetch the top two players of a game.

This is a possible create table command:

GameId	PlayerId	Score
“1”	“a”	150
“1”	“b”	35
“1”	“c”	50
“1”	“d”	45
“2”	“d”	10
…	…	…
