title: What is number of partitions after DynamoDB restore?
body: <p>There is <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/backup-restore/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">back-up and restore</a> feature for DynamoDB. <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/backuprestore_HowItWorks.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Documentation</a> says that when you restore table read and write capacity will remain same as source table when you did back-up.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The destination table is set with the same provisioned read capacity
    units and write capacity units as the source table, as recorded at the
    time the backup was requested.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But what is total number of partitions for destination table in this case? Your original source table can have lot of partitions with small Read and Write capacity. How is this going to be reflected?</p>
