     * This is a legacy parameter, for backward compatibility. New applications should use ConditionExpression

     * will return a ValidationException exception.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * A map of attribute/condition pairs. Expected provides a conditional block for the DeleteItem
     * operation.
     * 
     * 
     * Each element of Expected consists of an attribute name, a comparison operator, and one or more values.
     * DynamoDB compares the attribute with the value(s) you supplied, using the comparison operator. For each
     * Expected element, the result of the evaluation is either true or false.
     * 
     * 
     * If you specify more than one element in the Expected map, then by default all of the conditions must
     * evaluate to true. In other words, the conditions are ANDed together. (You can use the ConditionalOperator
     * parameter to OR the conditions instead. If you do this, then at least one of the conditions must evaluate to
     * true, rather than all of them.)
     * 
     * 
     * If the Expected map evaluates to true, then the conditional operation succeeds; otherwise, it fails.
     * 
     * 
     * Expected contains the following:
     * 
     * 
     * - 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList - One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of values
     * in the list depends on the ComparisonOperator being used.
     * 
     * 
     * For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.
     * 
     * 
     * String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values. For
     * example, a is greater than A, and a is greater than B. For a
     * list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia
     * .org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.
     * 
     * 
     * For type Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * ComparisonOperator - A comparator for evaluating attributes in the AttributeValueList. When
     * performing the comparison, DynamoDB uses strongly consistent reads.
     * 
     * 
     * The following comparison operators are available:
     * 
     * 
     * EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN
     * 
     * 
     * The following are descriptions of each comparison operator.
     * 
     * 
     * - 
     * 
     * EQ : Equal. EQ is supported for all datatypes, including lists and maps.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, Binary,
     * String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type
     * than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not
     * equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * NE : Not equal. NE is supported for all datatypes, including lists and maps.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, Binary, String Set,
     * Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than the one provided
     * in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal
     * {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * LE : Less than or equal.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary
     * (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided
     * in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal
     * {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * LT : Less than.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set
     * type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the
     * request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}.
     * Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * GE : Greater than or equal.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary
     * (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided
     * in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal
     * {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * GT : Greater than.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary
     * (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided
     * in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal
     * {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * NOT_NULL : The attribute exists. NOT_NULL is supported for all datatypes, including
     * lists and maps.
     * 
     * 
     * 
     * This operator tests for the existence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "
     * a" is null, and you evaluate it using NOT_NULL, the result is a Boolean true.
     * This result is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the
     * NOT_NULL comparison operator.
     * 
     *   
     * - 
     * 
     * NULL : The attribute does not exist. NULL is supported for all datatypes, including
     * lists and maps.
     * 
     * 
     * 
     * This operator tests for the nonexistence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "
     * a" is null, and you evaluate it using NULL, the result is a Boolean false. This
     * is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NULL
     * comparison operator.
     * 
     *   
     * - 
     * 
     * CONTAINS : Checks for a subsequence, or value in a set.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary
     * (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is of type String, then the operator checks for a
     * substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is of type Binary, then the operator looks for a
     * subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("
     * SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it finds an
     * exact match with any member of the set.
     * 
     * 
     * CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a CONTAINS b", "a
     * " can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * NOT_CONTAINS : Checks for absence of a subsequence, or absence of a value in a set.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary
     * (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operator checks for the absence
     * of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operator checks for the
     * absence of a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set
     * ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it does
     * not find an exact match with any member of the set.
     * 
     * 
     * NOT_CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a NOT CONTAINS b", "a
     * " can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * BEGINS_WITH : Checks for a prefix.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String or Binary (not a Number or a
     * set type). The target attribute of the comparison must be of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type).
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * IN : Checks for matching elements within two sets.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain one or more AttributeValue elements of type String, Number, or
     * Binary (not a set type). These attributes are compared against an existing set type attribute of an item. If any
     * elements of the input set are present in the item attribute, the expression evaluates to true.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * BETWEEN : Greater than or equal to the first value, and less than or equal to the second value.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue elements of the same type, either String,
     * Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal to,
     * the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains an AttributeValue
     * element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,
     * {"S":"6"} does not compare to {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare
     * to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
     * 
     *

     * For usage examples of AttributeValueList and ComparisonOperator, see Legacy
     * Conditional Parameters in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
     * 
     * 
     * For backward compatibility with previous DynamoDB releases, the following parameters can be used instead of
     * AttributeValueList and ComparisonOperator:
     * 
     * 
     * - 
     * 
     * Value - A value for DynamoDB to compare with an attribute.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * Exists - A Boolean value that causes DynamoDB to evaluate the value before attempting the conditional
     * operation:
     * 
     * 
     * - 
     * 
     * If Exists is true, DynamoDB will check to see if that attribute value already exists in the
     * table. If it is found, then the condition evaluates to true; otherwise the condition evaluate to false.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * If Exists is false, DynamoDB assumes that the attribute value does not exist in the
     * table. If in fact the value does not exist, then the assumption is valid and the condition evaluates to true. If
     * the value is found, despite the assumption that it does not exist, the condition evaluates to false.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * 
     * Note that the default value for Exists is true.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * 
     * The Value and Exists parameters are incompatible with AttributeValueList and
     * ComparisonOperator. Note that if you use both sets of parameters at once, DynamoDB will return a
     * ValidationException exception.
     * 
     * 
     * 
     * This parameter does not support attributes of type List or Map.

     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary
     * (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is of type String, then the operator checks for a

     * BEGINS_WITH : Checks for a prefix.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String or Binary (not a Number or a
     * set type). The target attribute of the comparison must be of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type).
     * 
     *  
     * -

     * IN : Checks for matching elements within two sets.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList can contain one or more AttributeValue elements of type String, Number, or
     * Binary (not a set type). These attributes are compared against an existing set type attribute of an item. If any
     * elements of the input set are present in the item attribute, the expression evaluates to true.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * BETWEEN : Greater than or equal to the first value, and less than or equal to the second value.
     * 
     * 
     * AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue elements of the same type, either String,
     * Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal to,
     * the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains an AttributeValue
     * element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,
     * {"S":"6"} does not compare to {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare

     * 
     * 
     * For backward compatibility with previous DynamoDB releases, the following parameters can be used instead of
     * AttributeValueList and ComparisonOperator:
     * 
     * 
     * - 
     * 
     * Value - A value for DynamoDB to compare with an attribute.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * Exists - A Boolean value that causes DynamoDB to evaluate the value before attempting the conditional
     * operation:
     * 
     * 
     * - 
     * 
     * If Exists is true, DynamoDB will check to see if that attribute value already exists in the
     * table. If it is found, then the condition evaluates to true; otherwise the condition evaluate to false.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * If Exists is false, DynamoDB assumes that the attribute value does not exist in the
     * table. If in fact the value does not exist, then the assumption is valid and the condition evaluates to true. If
     * the value is found, despite the assumption that it does not exist, the condition evaluates to false.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * 
     * Note that the default value for Exists is true.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * 
     * The Value and Exists parameters are incompatible with AttributeValueList and
     * ComparisonOperator. Note that if you use both sets of parameters at once, DynamoDB will return a
     * ValidationException exception.

     *         If Exists is false, DynamoDB assumes that the attribute value does not exist
     *         in the table. If in fact the value does not exist, then the assumption is valid and the condition
     *         evaluates to true. If the value is found, despite the assumption that it does not exist, the condition

     * Value - A value for DynamoDB to compare with an attribute.

     * For usage examples of AttributeValueList and ComparisonOperator, see Legacy
     * Conditional Parameters in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
     * 
     * 
     * For backward compatibility with previous DynamoDB releases, the following parameters can be used instead of
     * AttributeValueList and ComparisonOperator:
     * 
     * 
     * - 
     * 
     * Value - A value for DynamoDB to compare with an attribute.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * Exists - A Boolean value that causes DynamoDB to evaluate the value before attempting the conditional
     * operation:
     * 
     * 
     * - 
     * 
     * If Exists is true, DynamoDB will check to see if that attribute value already exists in the
     * table. If it is found, then the condition evaluates to true; otherwise the condition evaluate to false.
     * 
     *  
     * - 
     * 
     * If Exists is false, DynamoDB assumes that the attribute value does not exist in the
     * table. If in fact the value does not exist, then the assumption is valid and the condition evaluates to true. If
     * the value is found, despite the assumption that it does not exist, the condition evaluates to false.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * 
     * Note that the default value for Exists is true.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * 
     * The Value and Exists parameters are incompatible with AttributeValueList and
     * ComparisonOperator. Note that if you use both sets of parameters at once, DynamoDB will return a
     * ValidationException exception.
     * 
     * 
     * 
     * This parameter does not support attributes of type List or Map.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * @param expected
     *        
     *        This is a legacy parameter, for backward compatibility. New applications should use
     *        ConditionExpression instead. Do not combine legacy parameters and expression parameters in a single
     *        API call; otherwise, DynamoDB will return a ValidationException exception.
     *        
     *        
     *        
     *        A map of attribute/condition pairs. Expected provides a conditional block for the DeleteItem
     *        operation.
     *        
     *        
     *        Each element of Expected consists of an attribute name, a comparison operator, and one or more
     *        values. DynamoDB compares the attribute with the value(s) you supplied, using the comparison operator. For
     *        each Expected element, the result of the evaluation is either true or false.
     *        
     *        
     *        If you specify more than one element in the Expected map, then by default all of the conditions
     *        must evaluate to true. In other words, the conditions are ANDed together. (You can use the
     *        ConditionalOperator parameter to OR the conditions instead. If you do this, then at least one of
     *        the conditions must evaluate to true, rather than all of them.)
     *        
     *        
     *        If the Expected map evaluates to true, then the conditional operation succeeds; otherwise, it
     *        fails.
     *        
     *        
     *        Expected contains the following:
     *        
     *        
     *        - 
     *        
     *        AttributeValueList - One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of
     *        values in the list depends on the ComparisonOperator being used.
     *        
     *        
     *        For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.
     *        
     *        
     *        String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values.
     *        For example, a is greater than A, and a is greater than
     *        B. For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.
     *        
     *        
     *        For type Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values.
     *        
     *         
     *        - 
     *        
     *        ComparisonOperator - A comparator for evaluating attributes in the AttributeValueList. When
     *        performing the comparison, DynamoDB uses strongly consistent reads.
     *        
     *        
     *        The following comparison operators are available:
     *        
     *        
     *        EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN
     *        
     *        
     *        The following are descriptions of each comparison operator.

     *        AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue elements of the same type, either String,
     *        Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or
     *        equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains an
     *        AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not
     *        match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not compare to {"N":"6"}. Also,
     *        {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}

     *        For backward compatibility with previous DynamoDB releases, the following parameters can be used instead
     *        of AttributeValueList and ComparisonOperator:
     *        
     *        
     *        - 
     *        
     *        Value - A value for DynamoDB to compare with an attribute.
     *        
     *         
     *        - 
     *        
     *        Exists - A Boolean value that causes DynamoDB to evaluate the value before attempting the
     *        conditional operation:
     *        
     *        
     *        - 
     *        
     *        If Exists is true, DynamoDB will check to see if that attribute value already exists
     *        in the table. If it is found, then the condition evaluates to true; otherwise the condition evaluate to
     *        false.
     *        
     *         
     *        - 
     *        
     *        If Exists is false, DynamoDB assumes that the attribute value does not exist in
     *        the table. If in fact the value does not exist, then the assumption is valid and the condition evaluates
     *        to true. If the value is found, despite the assumption that it does not exist, the condition evaluates to
     *        false.
     *        
     *         
     *        
     *        
     *        Note that the default value for Exists is true.
     *        
     *         
     *        
     *        
     *        The Value and Exists parameters are incompatible with AttributeValueList and
     *        ComparisonOperator. Note that if you use both sets of parameters at once, DynamoDB will return a
     *        ValidationException exception.

     *        Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. For example,
     *        suppose that you wanted to check whether the value of the ProductStatus attribute was one of the
     *        following:
     *        
     *        
     *        Available | Backordered | Discontinued
     *        
     *        
     *        You would first need to specify ExpressionAttributeValues as follows:
     *        
     *        
     *        { ":avail":{"S":"Available"}, ":back":{"S":"Backordered"}, ":disc":{"S":"Discontinued"} }
     *        
     *        
     *        You could then use these values in an expression, such as this:
     *        
     *        
     *        ProductStatus IN (:avail, :back, :disc)
     *        
     *        
     *        For more information on expression attribute values, see Specifying Conditions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
     * @return Returns a reference to this object so that method calls can be chained together.
