Aws-sdk-java-v2: DAX Support

[madgnome]

As a DynamoDB user I would like to use DAX with this client instead of https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/DAX.client.html

Hi @madgnome, DAX is currently not part of the SDK because it uses a binary protocol directly over TCP rather HTTP.

I think it would be really cool to support DAX in the SDK but given that, it would require some work.

What is the status of this issue? The "software.amazon.awssdk.dynamodb" artifact is already released, as of now "2.0.6". Which is completely non-blocking, the DAX client is tightly coupled with the 1.11 version of the sdk dynamodb.

Any updates on this? Any way to reach out to the DAX team with this feature request?

Any updates on this issue? I gave up migrating v2 code to v1 just to use DAX 😢

[millems]

We've forwarded this feedback to the DAX team (they were also already aware of it). We understand it's a headache.

Hi, I have the same issue. Forced to stay in v1 just because of dax :(

[millems]

Sorry, still no updates.

Hi @millems ,
Does the DAX(dax.2.15.5.jar) provided can be used as DAX Client for performing DB Operation and does it supports by the AWS SDK v2.
I don't see any api returning DynamoDbClient instance similar to V1 version(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/DAX.client.run-application-java.TryDaxHelper.html).
Please updates.

Thanks,
Nitesh

DAX does not support 'implementing' the 2.x interfaces at this time, sorry.

[longravuth]

Any plan in the near future when Dax client can support Async V2 library? This limits us from being able to use SDK V2 and utilize reactive programming.

[rehevkor5]

This means that issues not being fixed in v1 such as https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java/issues/1893 still persist, sadly. Is DAX being deprecated?

[millems]

We are in communication with the DAX team, and are very aware that this is a blocker to your ability to use 2.x for DAX's data plane. We promise to update this issue as soon as we have something that we can share.

Is there any work going on this issue? Should we wait for SDK2 support or switch to SDK1?

[sken77]

what part is not supported?

i see that there is a client

https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java-v2/blob/caab8b95bc7f5a9bbd9b3d5ee979bb082873f42d/docs/LaunchChangelog.md#63-client-names

does this doesnt work if i try to use it?

@sken77 the DaxClient listed in the Launch Changelog is the service client to manage DAX clusters - https://sdk.amazonaws.com/java/api/latest/software/amazon/awssdk/services/dax/DaxClient.html.

This issue is regarding the standalone amazon-dax-client, used to make calls against DAX clusters: http://dax-sdk.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/
