---------------------------------------

As my current understanding using a dynamodb table is exclusive per ddbms, so
there should be no case when the same table gets modified by an old and a new
metadata store version at the same time.

Customers often share a single dynamo table between multiple clusters (it is
required if they modify the same bucket). I would actually expect multiple
versions to concurrently access the same table. Seems like we should try to
allow it unless there is a good reason to break compatibility.

> Add support for "authoritative mode" for DynamoDBMetadataStore.
> The missing feature is to persist the bit set in
> {{DirListingMetadata.isAuthoritative}}.
> This topic has been super confusing for folks so I will also file a
> documentation Jira to explain the design better.
> We may want to also rename the DirListingMetadata.isAuthoritative field to
> .isFullListing to eliminate the multiple uses and meanings of the word
> "authoritative".
