     *  
     * 
     * 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"]}
     *

     * 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 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

     * 
     * This operator tests for the nonexistence of an attribute, not its data

     * 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"]}

     * 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.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * @return 
     *         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

     *         
     *         
     *         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"]}.

     *         datatypes, including lists and maps.
     *

     *         
     *          
     *         - 
     *         
     *         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.

     *

     *         will return a ValidationException exception.
     *         
     *

     * 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

     * 
     *   
     * - 
     * 
     * 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.
     * 
     *  
     * 
     * @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
     *

     *        
     *        -

     *        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

     *        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.
     *        
     *        
     *

     * 
     * For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.

     * For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.

     * ComparisonOperator - A comparator for evaluating attributes in the

     * For backward compatibility with previous DynamoDB releases, the following

     * 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

     *        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.

     *        
     *        - 
     *        
     *        AttributeValueList - One or more values to evaluate against

     *        
     *        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.

     *        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 can contain only one
     *        AttributeValue element of type String, Number, Binary,

     *        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"}.

     *        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
     *        .

     *        with AttributeValueList and ComparisonOperator. Note
