     var request = new DescribeTableRequest("SampleTable");
     var response = otsClient.DescribeTable(request);

     //Display the description of the specified table.
     Console.Writeline("Describe table succeeded.") ;
     Console.WriteLine("LastIncreaseTime: {0}", response.ReservedThroughputDetails.LastIncreaseTime);
     Console.WriteLine("LastDecreaseTime: {0}", response.ReservedThroughputDetails.LastDecreaseTime);
     Console.WriteLine("NumberOfDecreaseToday: {0}", response.ReservedThroughputDetails.LastIncreaseTime);
     Console.WriteLine("ReadCapacity: {0}", response.ReservedThroughputDetails.CapacityUnit.Read);
     Console.WriteLine("WriteCapacity: {0}", response.ReservedThroughputDetails.CapacityUnit.Write);
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
     # If the task fails, an exception is returned for you to handle.
     Console.WriteLine("Describe table failed, exception:{0}", ex.Message);
