v0.5 - Rate limiting in requests (including bulk operations)

Description of changes:

In bulk operations (UPDATE, DELETE, UPSERT) it would be good to be able to rate limit the operations so as to not cause any impact for foreground applications. The same can be said for INSERT, REPLACE and SELECT. Operations from dynamodb-shell should not cause an inordinate consumption of RCUs and WCUs on a table that results in applications getting either degraded response time, or throttling.

To that end, a new rate limiting extension has been added in SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, UPSERT, and REPLACE.

You add a clause of the form

WITH RATELIMIT (NN RCU, MM WCU)

at the end of your request. You can specify either both RCU and WCU or just RCU or just WCU.

A select only consumes RCUs, so you can rate limit a select by providing an RCU value. All the others consume either only WCU (INSERT, REPLACE) or both RCU and WCU (UPDATE, DELETE, UPSERT).

Rate limiting is implemented as a simple token bucket and dynamodb shell will ensure that it keeps requests that it generates to be under the rate limit provided.

Examples have been provided in README.md and there is a new section describing this towards the end of the readme.

You can also specify an index in a bulk operation (UPDATE, DELETE, UPSERT) and provide a filter (WHERE clause) that targets the index. This means you could do a bulk update against a table doing a query on the index rather than a scan on the table.

v0.4 - Add support for deletion protection

DynamoDB supports deletion protection on table creation, and subsequently using UpdateTable. Support has been added to CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE to enable this capability. DESCRIBE now shows deletion protection status.

v0.3 - Support for DynamoDB Global Tables

DynamoDB Shell v0.3 adds support for DynamoDB global tables DDL. You can ADD, UPDATE or DELETE a global table replica. Refer to the documentation here.

v0.3 is also available on homebrew for macintosh users. You can install DynamoDB shell using:

brew tap aws/tap
brew install aws-ddbsh
