DynamoDB scan returns incomplete data

Question

I am trying to do a full scan on a dynamoDB tables. This is the code I am using:

private void fetchItems(AmazonDynamoDBClient client) {
    int count = 0;
    ScanResult result = null;
    ScanRequest req = new ScanRequest();
    req.setTableName(this.tableName);
    do {
        if (result != null) {
            req.setExclusiveStartKey(result.getLastEvaluatedKey());
        }
        result = client.scan(req);
        List<Map<String, AttributeValue>> rows = result.getItems();
        count += rows.size();
    } while(result.getLastEvaluatedKey() != null);
        System.out.println("Result size: " + count);
    }
}

The problem is that this functions returns 207 of the 273 items that are in the table. I have checked the metrics and there has been no throttling of requests. What could be the reason for this incomplete result ?

Answer 1

The problem was that I was looking at the wrong region. The table I was reading from was in NA while I was looking at the EU one. Thanks to @Chris for this.
