Table Schemas

Namespace Table

Primary key: id (String) GSI: parent_id-index on parent_id (String)

Attribute	Type	Description
id	String	Unique namespace identifier (primary key)
name	String	Display name
description	String	Optional description
parent_id	String	Parent namespace ID (__ROOT__ for top-level)
metadata	String	JSON-encoded metadata
filter_keys	String	JSON-encoded list of filter keys
created_at	String	ISO 8601 timestamp
updated_at	String	ISO 8601 timestamp

Document Table

Uses single-table design with composite keys:

Primary Key:

• PK (String): DOC#{namespace}#{doc_id}
• SK (String): METADATA

Global Secondary Indexes:

• GSI1: Namespace queries
  • GSI1PK: NAMESPACE#{namespace}
  • GSI1SK: CREATED#{timestamp}
• GSI2: Filename lookups
  • GSI2PK: FILENAME#{namespace}#{filename}
  • GSI2SK: CREATED#{timestamp}

Attribute	Type	Description
PK	String	Primary key: DOC#{namespace}#{doc_id}
SK	String	Sort key: METADATA
GSI1PK	String	Namespace index: NAMESPACE#{namespace}
GSI1SK	String	Created timestamp: CREATED#{timestamp}
GSI2PK	String	Filename index: FILENAME#{namespace}#{filename}
GSI2SK	String	Created timestamp: CREATED#{timestamp}
doc_id	String	Document ID
namespace	String	Namespace ID
filename	String	Original filename
title	String	Document title
source	String	Source identifier
content_type	String	MIME type
chunk_count	Number	Number of chunks

AWS CLI

# Create namespace table
aws dynamodb create-table \
  --table-name stache-namespaces \
  --attribute-definitions \
    AttributeName=id,AttributeType=S \
    AttributeName=parent_id,AttributeType=S \
  --key-schema AttributeName=id,KeyType=HASH \
  --global-secondary-indexes \
    'IndexName=parent_id-index,KeySchema=[{AttributeName=parent_id,KeyType=HASH}],Projection={ProjectionType=ALL}' \
  --billing-mode PAY_PER_REQUEST

# Create documents table
aws dynamodb create-table \
  --table-name stache-documents \
  --attribute-definitions \
    AttributeName=PK,AttributeType=S \
    AttributeName=SK,AttributeType=S \
    AttributeName=GSI1PK,AttributeType=S \
    AttributeName=GSI1SK,AttributeType=S \
    AttributeName=GSI2PK,AttributeType=S \

    'IndexName=GSI2,KeySchema=[{AttributeName=GSI2PK,KeyType=HASH},{AttributeName=GSI2SK,KeyType=RANGE}],Projection={ProjectionType=ALL}' \
  --billing-mode PAY_PER_REQUEST

IAM Permissions

The Lambda function needs these permissions on both tables:

- dynamodb:DescribeTable
- dynamodb:GetItem
- dynamodb:PutItem
- dynamodb:UpdateItem
- dynamodb:DeleteItem
- dynamodb:Query
- dynamodb:Scan

Or use the SAM DynamoDBCrudPolicy as shown above.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.10
• stache-ai >= 0.1.0
