Review Comment:
   @hlteoh37 / @YuriGusev / @nirtsruya there has been discussed regarding 
support for Conditional Writes and non-batch support. I note that the batch API 
uses `PutRequest` and non-batch uses `PutItemRequest`. They both internally use 
the same `Map<String, AttributeValue>`, but the `PutItemRequest` adds 
additional fields. 
   
   My concern is that we would not be able to toggle batch mode without 
implementing a new connector, since the generic RequestItem type will change. 
Therefore, maybe we need some middle ground here. We could use a POJO that 
contains an `Map<String, AttributeValue>` that we can transform to either  
`PutRequest` or `PutItemRequest`. Then we can evolve this element converter to 
transparently support either API.
   
   To summarise, I am considering if we actually need a `RequestEntryT` to be 
something like:
   
   ```
   interface DynamoDbWriteRequest<T> {
   
       Map<String, AttributeValue> getItems(T record);
   
       // And some other method to decide if it is put or delete
   }
   ```
   
   Then later we can support for `getConditionalExpression()`
