How to query a Dynamo DB having a GSI with only hashKeys using DynamoDBMapper

问题

I am very new to Dynamo DB and may be this is very trivial question, but i went through the documents of Dynamo DB and stack overflow questions but i couldnt find a single link which tells how to query DDB for GSI which has only hash key and there are no range key specified for the same.

I get the exception Illegal query expression: No hash key condition is found in the query.

On your DynamoDB annotated model object, you should use @DynamoDBIndexHashKey(globalSecondaryIndexName = "gsiIndexName) to signify that it is a hash key for the GSI:

@DynamoDBTable(tableName = "myTable")
public class MyTable {
    ...

    @DynamoDBIndexHashKey(globalSecondaryIndexName = "myGsi")
    public String getGsiHk() {
        return gsiHk;
    }

    ...
}

And then use the query method on the DynamoDBMapper:

final MyTable gsiKeyObj = new MyTable();
gsiKeyObj.setGsiHk("myGsiHkValue");
final DynamoDBQueryExpression<MyTable> queryExpression = 
    new DynamoDBQueryExpression<>();
queryExpression.setHashKeyValues(gsiKeyObj);
queryExpression.setIndexName("myGsi");
queryExpression.setConsistentRead(false);   // cannot use consistent read on GSI
final PaginatedQueryList<MyTable> results = 
    mapper.query(MyTable.class, queryExpression);
