'''
Create a table: mysampletable,
and specify two primary keys: uid(string) and pid(integer).
Set the data declaration cycle to 864,000 seconds or 10 days and the number of versions to 1.
'''

#5 View table information.
ts> desc -t mysampletable

#6 Use this table.
ts> use -t mysampletable

#7 Insert data into the table.
ts> put --pk '["86", 6771]' --attr '[{"c":"name", "v":"redchen1"}, {"c":"country", "v":"china"}]'
ts> put --pk '["86", 6772]' --attr '[{"c":"name", "v":"redchen2"}, {"c":"country", "v":"china"}]'

Table-level operations

• Create a table

  Sample:
      # Create a table that contains the first primary key of string type and the second primary key of integer type.
      # Specify the second primary key as an auto-increment column of integer type.
      # Set Time To Live (TTL) and Max Versions.
      create -t mytable --pk '[{"c":"uid", "t":"string"}, {"c":"pid", "t":"integer"}]'
      create -t mytable --pk '[{"c":"uid", "t":"string"}, {"c":"pid", "t":"integer", "opt":"auto"}]'
      create -t mytable --pk '[{"C":"uid","t":"string"}, {"c":"pid","t":"integer"}]' --ttl 864000 --version 1
  Flags:
    -i, --input string           Create table json
    -p, --pk string              Primary Key 
        --read_cu string         read capacity unit (default "0")
    -t, --table string           table name 
        --ttl string             Time to live, unit is second, default(-1), means never timeout. (default "-1")
        --version string         Max version, default(1) (default "1")
        --write_cu string        write capacity unit (default "0")

• List table names

  $./ts list
  List all table name from instance

• Update the table

  Sample:
      alter -t mytable --ttl 86400 --version 1 --read_cu 0 --write_cu 0
  Flags:
        --read_cu string         read capacity unit
    -t, --table string           table name
        --ttl string             Time to live, unit is second 
        --version string         Max version 
        --write_cu string        write capacity unit 

• Query the description of the table

    -o, --output string   Output file path
    -t, --table string    Table name

• Delete the table

  Sample:
      drop -t tablename

    -t, --table string   table name
    -y, --yes            confirm yes

• Select a table for data operations

      use -t tablename
  Flags:
    -t, --table string   table name

Single-row operations

• Insert a row into the table

  Sample:
      #Insert a row into the table. This row contains two primary keys and two attribute columns. The first primary key is “86”, and the second primary key is 6771. The first attribute column is named as “name” and the attribute value is “redchen”.
      # Select a check logic for inserting the row: 1. Ignore the check. 2. Allow inserting the row that contains the same primary key. 3. Allow inserting the row that does not contain the same primary key.
      # Allow inserting the specified timestamp.
      # Allow inserting the row that contains an auto-increment column as the primary key.
      # Read and insert data from a file.
      put --pk '["86", 6771]' --attr '[{"c":"name", "v":"redchen"}, {"c":"country", "v":"china"}]'
      put --pk '["86", 6771]' --attr '[{"c":"name", "v":"redchen"}, {"c":"country", "v":"china"}]'  --condition ignore/exist/not_exist 
      put --pk '["86", 6771]' --attr '[{"c":"name", "v":"redchen"}, {"c":"country", "v":"china", "ts":15327798534}]'
      put --pk '["86", null]' --attr '[{"c":"name", "v":"redchen"}, {"c":"country", "v":"china"}]'

      get --pk '["86",6771]'
  Flags:
    -o, --output string   Output file path 
        --pk string       Input primary key column value

      import -i /tmp/mydata
      import -i /tmp/mydata --ignore_ts
      '''
      file format:
      {"PK":{"Values":["redchen",0]},"Attr":{"Values":[{"C":"country","V":"china0"},{"C":"name","V":"redchen0"}]}}
