Returns information about the table, including the current status of the table, when
it was created, the primary key schema, and any indexes on the table.
This operation only applies to Version
2019.11.21 (Current) of global tables.
If you issue a DescribeTable request immediately after a CreateTable
request, DynamoDB might return a ResourceNotFoundException. This is because
DescribeTable uses an eventually consistent query, and the metadata for your

the DescribeTable request again.
For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to DescribeTableAsync.
