Interface for accessing AWS Lambda AWS Lambda

Overview

This is the AWS Lambda API Reference. The AWS Lambda Developer Guide provides additional information. For the service overview, see What is AWS Lambda, and for information about how the service works, see AWS Lambda: How it Works in the AWS Lambda Developer Guide.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ResponseMetadata	getCachedResponseMetadata(AmazonWebServiceRequest request) Returns additional metadata for a previously executed successful request, typically used for debugging issues where a service isn't acting as expected.
InvokeResult	invoke(InvokeRequest invokeRequest) Invokes a Lambda function.
void	setEndpoint(java.lang.String endpoint) Overrides the default endpoint for this client ("https://lambda.us-east-1.amazonaws.com").
void	setRegion(Region region) An alternative to setEndpoint(String), sets the regional endpoint for this client's service calls.
void	shutdown() Shuts down this client object, releasing any resources that might be held open.

Method Detail

setEndpoint

void setEndpoint(java.lang.String endpoint)
          throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Overrides the default endpoint for this client ("https://lambda.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"). Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

Callers can pass in just the endpoint (ex: "lambda.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "https://lambda.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"). If the protocol is not specified here, the default protocol from this client's ClientConfiguration will be used, which by default is HTTPS.

For more information on using AWS regions with the AWS SDK for Java, and a complete list of all available endpoints for all AWS services, see: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID= 3912

This method is not threadsafe. An endpoint should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.

Parameters:

endpoint - The endpoint (ex: "lambda.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "https://lambda.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") of the region specific AWS endpoint this client will communicate with.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If any problems are detected with the specified endpoint.

setRegion

void setRegion(Region region)
        throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

An alternative to setEndpoint(String), sets the regional endpoint for this client's service calls. Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

By default, all service endpoints in all regions use the https protocol. To use http instead, specify it in the ClientConfiguration supplied at construction.

This method is not threadsafe. A region should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.

Parameters:

region - The region this client will communicate with. See Region.getRegion(com.amazonaws.regions.Regions) for accessing a given region.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the given region is null, or if this service isn't available in the given region. See Region.isServiceSupported(String)

invoke

InvokeResult invoke(InvokeRequest invokeRequest)
             throws AmazonClientException,
                    AmazonServiceException

Invokes a Lambda function. You can invoke a function synchronously (and wait for the response), or asynchronously. To invoke a function asynchronously, set InvocationType to Event.

For synchronous invocation, details about the function response, including errors, are included in the response body and headers. For either invocation type, you can find more information in the execution log and trace.

When an error occurs, your function may be invoked multiple times. Retry behavior varies by error type, client, event source, and invocation type. For example, if you invoke a function asynchronously and it returns an error, Lambda executes the function up to two more times. For more information, see Retry Behavior.

For asynchronous invocation, Lambda adds events to a queue before sending them to your function. If your function does not have enough capacity to keep up with the queue, events may be lost. Occasionally, your function may receive the same event multiple times, even if no error occurs. To retain events that were not processed, configure your function with a dead-letter queue.

The status code in the API response doesn't reflect function errors. Error codes are reserved for errors that prevent your function from executing, such as permissions errors, limit errors, or issues with your function's code and configuration. For example, Lambda returns TooManyRequestsException if executing the function would cause you to exceed a concurrency limit at either the account level (ConcurrentInvocationLimitExceeded) or function level ( ReservedFunctionConcurrentInvocationLimitExceeded).

For functions with a long timeout, your client might be disconnected during synchronous invocation while it waits for a response. Configure your HTTP client, SDK, firewall, proxy, or operating system to allow for long connections with timeout or keep-alive settings.

This operation requires permission for the lambda:InvokeFunction action.

Parameters:

invokeRequest -

Returns:

invokeResult The response from the Invoke service method, as returned by AWS Lambda.

Throws:

ServiceException

ResourceNotFoundException

InvalidRequestContentException

RequestTooLargeException

UnsupportedMediaTypeException

TooManyRequestsException

InvalidParameterValueException

EC2UnexpectedException

SubnetIPAddressLimitReachedException

ENILimitReachedException

EFSMountConnectivityException

EFSMountFailureException

EFSMountTimeoutException

EFSIOException

EC2ThrottledException

EC2AccessDeniedException

InvalidSubnetIDException

InvalidSecurityGroupIDException

InvalidZipFileException

KMSDisabledException

KMSInvalidStateException

KMSAccessDeniedException

KMSNotFoundException

InvalidRuntimeException

ResourceConflictException

ResourceNotReadyException

AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.

AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AWS Lambda indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

shutdown

void shutdown()

Shuts down this client object, releasing any resources that might be held open. This is an optional method, and callers are not expected to call it, but can if they want to explicitly release any open resources. Once a client has been shutdown, it should not be used to make any more requests.

getCachedResponseMetadata

ResponseMetadata getCachedResponseMetadata(AmazonWebServiceRequest request)

Returns additional metadata for a previously executed successful request, typically used for debugging issues where a service isn't acting as expected. This data isn't considered part of the result data returned by an operation, so it's available through this separate, diagnostic interface.

Response metadata is only cached for a limited period of time, so if you need to access this extra diagnostic information for an executed request, you should use this method to retrieve it as soon as possible after executing a request.

Parameters:

request - The originally executed request.

Returns:

The response metadata for the specified request, or null if none is available.
