DynamoDbEnhancedClient to be configurable to turn on consistent read for all applicable operations.

[alvinlin123]

DynamoDB mapper support turning on consistent read at mapper level: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/com/amazonaws/services/dynamodbv2/datamodeling/DynamoDBMapperConfig.ConsistentReads.html

I can't find how to do the same using DynamoDbEnhancedClient.

Hi @alvinlin123 when using the DynamoDbEnhancedClient you can set it in GetItemEnhancedRequest:
https://sdk.amazonaws.com/java/api/latest/software/amazon/awssdk/enhanced/dynamodb/model/GetItemEnhancedRequest.html

GetItemEnhancedRequest request =
            GetItemEnhancedRequest.builder()
                                  .key(Key.builder().partitionValue("ABC").build())
                                  .consistentRead(true)
                                  .build();

Let us know if this helps.

Hi @debora-ito Yup it helps. However, then it means I have to set it per request; would be much easier for we can set it at the client creation level in the case I know most of my use cases needs consistent read :)

Understood, changing it back to feature request then.
