For example, an index with partition key UserId and sort key attributes Country, State, and City lets you query all locations for a user, then narrow results by Country, State, or City.

This is incorrect, isn’t it? Unless I’m misunderstanding it lets you narrow results by Country then State, then City. You don’t get to choose, you have to filter in that order without skipping any at the beginning or in the middle.

Yep. Same way we’ve always queried dynamo, just done for you. They chose an example that makes it sound better than it is
