DynamoDB Delete Table

This Snap deletes an existing table from AWS DynamoDB.

Note: DynamoDB delete operation is eventually consistent. Therefore the Snap may poll up to 5 seconds to confirm deletion through table metadata query in order to set the output view status to DELETED. If deletion not confirmed after 5 seconds, output view status will remain the original DynamoDB response of DELETING.
