The number of write capacity units consumed when adding a new global secondary index to a
table. If the write capacity of the index is too low, incoming write activity during the
backfill phase might be throttled; this can increase the time it takes to create the index.
You should monitor this statistic while the index is being built to determine whether the
write capacity of the index is underprovisioned.
You can adjust the write capacity of the index using the UpdateTable operation, even while
the index is still being built.
Note that the ConsumedWriteCapacityUnits metric for the index does not include the write
throughput consumed during index creation.
