AmazonServiceException: Supplied AttributeValue is empty, must contain exactly one of the supported datatypes

Question

I am trying to import data from dynamodb console interface, but unable to get success.

Data is

{"_id":{"s":"d9922db0-83ac-11e6-9263-cd3ebf92dec3"},"applicationId":{"S":"2"},"applicationName":{"S":"Paperclip"},"ip":{"S":"127.0.0.1"},"objectInfo":{"S":"elearning_2699"},"referalUrl":{"S":"backported data"},"url":{"S":""},"userAgent":{"S":""},"userEmail":{"S":"[email protected]"},"userId":{"S":"508521"},"userName":{"S":"Karthik"},"created":{"S":"1486983137000"},"verb":{"S":"submitproject"},"dataVals":{"S":"{\"projectid\":5,\"name\":\"Test 1\",\"domain\":\"apparel\",\"submittype\":[\"Writeup\",\"Screenshots\"],\"passcriteria\":\"Percentage\",\"taemail\":\"[email protected]\",\"attemptNo\":1,\"submitDate\":1467784988}"},"eventTime":{"S":"1467784988000"}}

I am getting below error

Answer 1

Error: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.amazonaws.AmazonServiceException: Supplied AttributeValue is empty, must contain exactly one of the supported datatypes (Service: AmazonDynamoDBv2; Status Code: 400; Error Code: ValidationException This is the error you are getting.

Below are the possible reasons

1. DynamoDB does not support empty value, so you should remove those fields (agree with @notionquest)
2. Field's value should have proper data type as per table
