aws_lambda_dynamodb raises exception when using existing Table about aws-solutions-constructs HOT 1 OPEN

Sorry for the delay in responding. The issue is the difference between a Table interface (ITable in Typescript) and a Table object (Table in Typescript). The existingTable property requires a Table object, but the Table.from*() functions return an interface (ITable), so can't be used. In this situation, existingTables must be tables that exist elsewhere in this stack vs elsewhere in the account.

This is a drawback of some of the early constructs, later we started accepting Interfaces as props instead of Objects. We're tossing around the idea of a big 3.0.0 release where we could make many of the lessons we learned standard - while these would be very simple to accommodate breaking changes, they would be breaking changes and would require major release.

I'm gonna leave this Issue open for the moment and see if anyone here has any ideas for a workaround.
