What needs to happen?

Our AWS v1 IOs have been deprecated since Beam 2.41.0 (July 2022), with the message "You are using a deprecated IO for DynamoDB. Please migrate to module 'org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-amazon-web-services2'.", and the new libraries have been recommended for longer than that. The underlying libraries are in maintenance mode, with EOL scheduled for the end of next year.

These IOs are now causing maintenance overhead (making it impossible to upgrade to the newest Protobuf, with no planned patches). Rather than trying to find a workaround we are planning on removing the deprecated IOs.

As part of this, we will migrate the cross language python connector to use the v2 IOs. The goal will be to minimize the delta here, but some options will no longer apply.
