--attribute-definitions AttributeName=email,AttributeType=S AttributeName=fullName,AttributeType=S \
--table-name sample \
--key-schema AttributeName=email,KeyType=HASH AttributeName=fullName,KeyType=RANGE \
--provisioned-throughput ReadCapacityUnits=5,WriteCapacityUnits=5

Then run the actual command

import-csv-to-dynamo -t <table_name> <path-to-csv>
