We encountered a failing non-null assertion in tempest's Prefixer when performing a query on a GSI using a prefixed sort key, once the result set grew large enough to require pagination, causing our service to be unable to read from the database.
Analysis by @jialiang-cash found that the LastEvaluatedKey object returned from Dynamo only includes the partition_key and secondary_index_keys fields. This caused an issue in decodeOffset when Tempest tries to remove the prefixes on both partition_key and sort_key, resulting in a null value exception because no sort_key exists.
Stack trace:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Required value was null.
