Changes in Waiters from version 1 to version 2

This topic details the changes in the functionality of Waiters from version 1 (v1) to version 2 (v2).

The following tables demonstrate the difference for DynamoDB waiters specifically. Waiters for other services follow the same pattern.

High-level changes

Waiters classes are in the same Maven artifact as the service.

Create a waiter 
AmazonDynamoDB client = AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder

AmazonDynamoDBWaiters waiter = client.waiters();
 Synchronous:

DynamoDbWaiter waiter = client.waiter();

Asynchronous:

Wait until a table exists Synchronous:
waiter.tableExists()
    .run(new WaiterParameters<>(

Asynchronous:
