(aws-cdk/aws-dynamodb): Create table replica in background #16611

@TheSPD

Description

@TheSPD

Requesting another property under TableOptions to create the Table replica in background without checks.

Use Case

When creating DynamoDB Table Replica, the replica generation might take more than 1 hour sometimes due to big table sizes. Cloudformation does not have patience to wait for that long and kills the deployment even when replicationTimeout property on the Table API is set to a higher number (say 6 hours).

In our case, it takes 3.5 hours for the replica to be created.

Proposed Solution

The property can then be used in the lambda
to send appropriate isComplete response back to CloudFormation and let it continue without actually checking if replication has completed.
