More Information
Summary:A database client may implement scalable tracking for database updates according to a secondary index. As update requests are generated and sent to a database, tracking attributes may be included in the update requests in order to be inserted into the database with respect to a portion of the database for which the requested update is performed. Tracking attributes may include a sequence number which may be used to determine an order in which the updates are performed at the database. Tracking attributes may also include a bucket identifier, which may categorize or label the portion of data updated as part of an update. These tracking attributes may be replicated to a secondary index maintained for the database. Queries to the secondary index based on the tracking attributes may identify updates performed to the database. Notifications of the identified updates may then be provided.
