Create a table with higher warm throughput

You can adjust the warm throughput values when you create your Amazon Keyspaces table by using the console, CQL, or the Amazon CLI.

------
#### [ Console ]

**How to create a new table with warm-throughput settings**

1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console, and open the Amazon Keyspaces console at [https://console.amazonaws.cn/keyspaces/home](https://console.amazonaws.cn/keyspaces/home).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Tables**, and then choose **Create table**.

1. On the **Create table** page in the **Table details** section, select a keyspace and provide a name for the new table.

1. In the **Columns** section, create the schema for your table.

1. In the **Primary key** section, define the primary key of the table and select optional clustering columns.

1. In the **Table settings** section, choose **Customize settings**.

1. Continue to **Read/write capacity settings**.

1. For **Capacity mode**, you can choose either **On-demand** or **Provisioned**.

1. In the **Pre-warming for tables** section, you can increase the values for **Read units per second** and **Write units per second** as needed to prepare your table to handle planned peak events.

   The warm throughput values that Amazon Keyspaces adjusts based on your on-demand usage or provisioned capacity are available by default for all tables without additional charges. Note that if you manually increase the default warm throughput values to pre-warm the table for peak traffic events, additional charges apply. 

1. Configure other optional table features as needed. Then choose **Create table**.

#### [ Cassandra Query Language (CQL) ]
+ Create a table with warm throughput using one of the following methods:
  + For provisioned mode, create a table and specify the expected peak capacity for reads and writes using the following CQL syntax:

    ```
    CREATE TABLE catalog.book_awards (
       year int,
       award text,
       rank int,
       category text,
       book_title text,
       author text,
       publisher text,
       PRIMARY KEY ((year, award), category, rank))
    WITH CUSTOM_PROPERTIES = {  
        'capacity_mode': {
           'throughput_mode': 'PROVISIONED',
           'read_capacity_units': 20000,
           'write_capacity_units': 10000
         },
        'warm_throughput': {  
            'read_units_per_second': 40000,  
            'write_units_per_second': 20000  
         }
    };
    ```
  + For on-demand mode, create a table and specify the expected peak capacity for reads and writes using the following CQL syntax:

    ```
    CREATE TABLE catalog.book_awards (
       year int,
       award text,
       rank int,
       category text,
       book_title text,
       author text,
       publisher text,
       PRIMARY KEY ((year, award), category, rank))
    WITH CUSTOM_PROPERTIES = {  
        'capacity_mode': {
           'throughput_mode': 'PAY_PER_REQUEST'
         },
        'warm_throughput': {  
            'read_units_per_second': 40000,  
            'write_units_per_second': 20000  
         }
    };
    ```

  To confirm the capacity settings of the table, see [View warm throughput of an Amazon Keyspaces table](view-warm-throughput.md).

#### [ CLI ]

1. Create a table with warm throughput using one of the following methods using the Amazon CLI
   + Create a new table in provisioned mode and specify the expected peak capacity values for reads and writes for the new table. The following statement is an example of this.

     ```
     aws keyspaces create-table \
     --keyspace-name 'catalog' \
     --table-name 'book_awards' \
     --schema-definition 'allColumns=[{name=year,type=int},{name=award,type=text},{name=rank,type=int},{name=category,type=text},{name=book_title,type=text},{name=author,type=text},{name=publisher,type=text}],partitionKeys=[{name=year},{name=award}],clusteringKeys=[{name=category,orderBy=ASC},{name=rank,orderBy=ASC}]' \
     --capacity-specification throughputMode=PROVISIONED,readCapacityUnits=20000,writeCapacityUnits=10000 \
     --warm-throughput-specification readUnitsPerSecond=40000,writeUnitsPerSecond=20000
     ```
   + Create a new table in on-demand mode and specify the expected peak capacity values for reads and writes for the new table. The following statement is an example of this.

     ```
     aws keyspaces create-table \
     --keyspace-name 'catalog' \
     --table-name 'book_awards' \
     --schema-definition 'allColumns=[{name=year,type=int},{name=award,type=text},{name=rank,type=int},{name=category,type=text},{name=book_title,type=text},{name=author,type=text},{name=publisher,type=text}],partitionKeys=[{name=year},{name=award}],clusteringKeys=[{name=category,orderBy=ASC},{name=rank,orderBy=ASC}]' \
     --warmThroughputSpecification readUnitsPerSecond=40000,writeUnitsPerSecond=20000
     ```

1. The output of the command returns the ARN of the table as shown in the following example.

   ```
   {
       "resourceArn": "arn:aws-cn::cassandra:us-east-1:111122223333:/keyspace/catalog/table/book_awards>"
   }
   ```

   To confirm the capacity settings of the table, see [View warm throughput of an Amazon Keyspaces table](view-warm-throughput.md).
