The GetItem operation returns a set of attributes for the item with the given
primary key. If there is no matching item, GetItem does not return any data
and there will be no Item element in the response.
GetItem provides an eventually consistent read by default. If your application
requires a strongly consistent read, set ConsistentRead to true. Although
a strongly consistent read might take more time than an eventually consistent read,
it always returns the last updated value.
For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to GetItemAsync.

public abstract GetItemResponse GetItem( String tableName, Dictionary<String, AttributeValue> key )
The name of the table containing the requested item. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.
A map of attribute names to AttributeValue objects, representing the primary key of the item to retrieve. For the primary key, you must provide all of the attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide a value for the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide values for both the partition key and the sort key.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InternalServerErrorException | An error occurred on the server side. |
| ProvisionedThroughputExceededException | Your request rate is too high. The Amazon Web Services SDKs for DynamoDB automatically retry requests that receive this exception. Your request is eventually successful, unless your retry queue is too large to finish. Reduce the frequency of requests and use exponential backoff. For more information, go to Error Retries and Exponential Backoff in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. |
| RequestLimitExceededException | Throughput exceeds the current throughput quota for your account. Please contact Amazon Web Services Support to request a quota increase. |
| ResourceNotFoundException | The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be ACTIVE. |
