/**
 * Interface for accessing DynamoDB asynchronously. Each asynchronous method
 * will return a Java Future object representing the asynchronous operation;
 * overloads which accept an {@code AsyncHandler} can be used to receive
 * notification when an asynchronous operation completes.
 * 
 * Amazon DynamoDB 
 * 
 * This is the Amazon DynamoDB API Reference. This guide provides descriptions
 * of the low-level DynamoDB API.
 * 
 * 
 * This guide is intended for use with the following DynamoDB documentation:
 * 
 * 
 * - 
 * 
 * Amazon DynamoDB Getting Started Guide - provides hands-on exercises that
 * help you learn the basics of working with DynamoDB. If you are new to
 * DynamoDB, we recommend that you begin with the Getting Started Guide.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * 
 * Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide - contains detailed information about
 * DynamoDB concepts, usage, and best practices.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * 
 * Amazon DynamoDB Streams API Reference - provides descriptions and samples
 * of the DynamoDB Streams API. (For more information, see Capturing Table Activity with DynamoDB Streams in the Amazon DynamoDB
 * Developer Guide.)
 * 
 *  
 * 
 * 
 * Instead of making the requests to the low-level DynamoDB API directly from
 * your application, we recommend that you use the AWS Software Development Kits
 * (SDKs). The easy-to-use libraries in the AWS SDKs make it unnecessary to call
 * the low-level DynamoDB API directly from your application. The libraries take
 * care of request authentication, serialization, and connection management. For
 * more information, see Using the AWS SDKs with DynamoDB in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
 * 
 * 
 * If you decide to code against the low-level DynamoDB API directly, you will
 * need to write the necessary code to authenticate your requests. For more
 * information on signing your requests, see Using the DynamoDB API in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
 * 
 * 
 * The following are short descriptions of each low-level API action, organized
 * by function.
 * 
 * 
 * Managing Tables
 * 
 * 
 * - 
 * 
 * CreateTable - Creates a table with user-specified provisioned
 * throughput settings. You must define a primary key for the table - either a
 * simple primary key (partition key), or a composite primary key (partition key
 * and sort key). Optionally, you can create one or more secondary indexes,
 * which provide fast data access using non-key attributes.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * DescribeTable - Returns metadata for a table, such as table size,
 * status, and index information.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * UpdateTable - Modifies the provisioned throughput settings for a
 * table. Optionally, you can modify the provisioned throughput settings for
 * global secondary indexes on the table.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * ListTables - Returns a list of all tables associated with the current
 * AWS account and endpoint.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * DeleteTable - Deletes a table and all of its indexes.
 * 
 *  
 * 
 * 
 * For conceptual information about managing tables, see Working with Tables in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
 * 
 * 
 * Reading Data
 * 
 * 
 * - 
 * 
 * GetItem - Returns a set of attributes for the item that has a given
 * primary key. By default, GetItem performs an eventually consistent
 * read; however, applications can request a strongly consistent read instead.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * BatchGetItem - Performs multiple GetItem requests for data
 * items using their primary keys, from one table or multiple tables. The
 * response from BatchGetItem has a size limit of 16 MB and returns a
 * maximum of 100 items. Both eventually consistent and strongly consistent
 * reads can be used.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * Query - Returns one or more items from a table or a secondary index.
 * You must provide a specific value for the partition key. You can narrow the
 * scope of the query using comparison operators against a sort key value, or on
 * the index key. Query supports either eventual or strong consistency. A
 * single response has a size limit of 1 MB.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * Scan - Reads every item in a table; the result set is eventually
 * consistent. You can limit the number of items returned by filtering the data
 * attributes, using conditional expressions. Scan can be used to enable
 * ad-hoc querying of a table against non-key attributes; however, since this is
 * a full table scan without using an index, Scan should not be used for
 * any application query use case that requires predictable performance.
 * 
 *  
 * 
 * 
 * For conceptual information about reading data, see Working with Items and Query and Scan Operations in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
 * 
 * 
 * Modifying Data
 * 
 * 
 * - 
 * 
 * PutItem - Creates a new item, or replaces an existing item with a new
 * item (including all the attributes). By default, if an item in the table
 * already exists with the same primary key, the new item completely replaces
 * the existing item. You can use conditional operators to replace an item only
 * if its attribute values match certain conditions, or to insert a new item
 * only if that item doesn't already exist.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * UpdateItem - Modifies the attributes of an existing item. You can also
 * use conditional operators to perform an update only if the item's attribute
 * values match certain conditions.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * DeleteItem - Deletes an item in a table by primary key. You can use
 * conditional operators to perform a delete an item only if the item's
 * attribute values match certain conditions.
 * 
 *  
 * - 
 * 
 * BatchWriteItem - Performs multiple PutItem and
 * DeleteItem requests across multiple tables in a single request. A
 * failure of any request(s) in the batch will not cause the entire
 * BatchWriteItem operation to fail. Supports batches of up to 25 items
 * to put or delete, with a maximum total request size of 16 MB.
 * 
 *  
 * 
 * 
 * For conceptual information about modifying data, see Working with Items and Query and Scan Operations in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

     * include its own logic to assemble the pages of results into one data set.

     * If DynamoDB returns any unprocessed items, you should retry the batch

     * throttling on the individual tables. If you delay the batch operation
     * using exponential backoff, the individual requests in the batch are much
     * more likely to succeed.
     * 
     * 
     * For more information, see Batch Operations and Error Handling in the Amazon DynamoDB
     * Developer Guide.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * By default, BatchGetItem performs eventually consistent reads on
     * every table in the request. If you want strongly consistent reads
     * instead, you can set ConsistentRead to true for any
     * or all tables.
     * 
     * 
     * In order to minimize response latency, BatchGetItem retrieves
     * items in parallel.
