Auth Scheme	The scheme used for authentication. Accepted entries are: Auto, , AwsRootKeys , AwsIAMRoles , AwsEC2Roles , AwsMFA , AwsCredentialsFile.
Auto Detect Index	A boolean indicating if secondary indexes should be automatically detected based on the query used.
AWS Access Key	Your AWS account access key. This value is accessible from your AWS security credentials page.
AWS Credentials File	The path to the AWS Credentials File to be used for authentication.
AWS Credentials File Profile	The name of the profile to be used from the supplied AWSCredentialsFile.
AWS External Id	A unique identifier that might be required when you assume a role in another account.
AWS Region	The hosting region for your Amazon Web Services.
AWS Role ARN	The Amazon Resource Name of the role to use when authenticating.
AWS Secret Key	Your AWS account secret key. This value is accessible from your AWS security credentials page.
AWS Session Token	Your AWS session token.
Buffer Size	Determines the internal buffer size to fill up to before returning results.
Credentials Location	The location of the settings file where MFA credentials are saved.
Domain	Your AWS domain name. You can optionally choose to associate your domain name with AWS.
Firewall Password	A password used to authenticate to a proxy-based firewall.
Firewall Port	The TCP port for a proxy-based firewall.
Firewall Server	The name or IP address of a proxy-based firewall.
Firewall Type	The protocol used by a proxy-based firewall.
Firewall User	The user name to use to authenticate with a proxy-based firewall.
Flatten Arrays	By default, nested arrays are returned as strings of JSON. The FlattenArrays property can be used to flatten the elements of nested arrays into columns of their own. Set FlattenArrays to the number of elements you want to return from nested arrays.
Flatten Objects	Set FlattenObjects to true to flatten object properties into columns of their own. Otherwise, objects nested in arrays are returned as strings of JSON.
Generate Schema Files	Indicates the user preference as to when schemas should be generated and saved.
Insert Mode	How to handle values when inserting if the same primary key combination already exists in DynamoDB.
Location	A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures.
Log Modules	Core modules to be included in the log file.
Maximum Request Retries	The maximum number of times to retry a request.
Max Rows	Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time.
MFA Serial Number	The serial number of the MFA device if one is being used.
MFA Token	The temporary token available from your MFA device.
Number Column Mode	Specifies how to handle detected number columns. DynamoDB returns number values with a total precision of 38.
Other	These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases.
Pagesize	The maximum number of results to return per page from Amazon DynamoDB.
Proxy Auth Scheme	The authentication type to use to authenticate to the ProxyServer proxy.
Proxy Auto Detect	This indicates whether to use the system proxy settings or not. This takes precedence over other proxy settings, so you'll need to set ProxyAutoDetect to FALSE in order use custom proxy settings.

Separator Character	The character or characters used to denote hierarchy.
SSL Server Cert	The certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.
Temporary Token Duration	The amount of time (in seconds) a temporary token will last.
Thread Count	The number of threads to use when selecting data via a parallel scan. Setting ThreadCount to 1 will disable parallel scans.
Timeout	The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation.
Type Detection Scheme	Determines how to determine the data type of columns.
Use Consistent Reads	Whether to alyways use Consistent Reads or not when querying DynamoDb.
Use Simple Names	Boolean determining if simple names should be used for tables and columns.
