title: Can I get value of actual write capacity of DynamoDB or DynamoDB2 table
body: <p>Suppose I access an existing DynamoDB</p>
  
  <pre><code>import boto
  conn = boto.connect_dynamodb(...)
  table = conn.get_table(tableName)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or a DynamoDB2</p>
  
  <pre><code>import boto
  from boto.dynamodb2.layer1 import DynamoDBConnection
  from boto.dynamodb2.table import Table
  conn = DynamoDBConnection(...)
  table = Table(tableName, connection=conn)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>table. I want to know how much data was written to it right before I accessed it. So I don't want the provisioned write throughput value but the actual throughput. How can I get this info?</p>
