Description

The DynamoDB connector exposes SDK classes to the end user code, and also is responsible for de/serialization of these classes. Add a build time check to ensure the client model is binary equivalent of a known good version. This will prevent us updating the SDK and unexpectedly breaking the de/serialization.

We use japicmp-maven-plugin to do something similar for Flink, we can potentially reuse this.
