How to use JS SDK V3 to getItem from DAX: "@aws-sdk/client-dax" instead of "amazon-dax-client"

Question

Is it possible to read from DAX with benefit of SDK V3 for JS usage? 
I would like to configure reading from specified DAX endpoint but I can't find any details how to do it. 
I only found following solution for SDK V2:
```
    var dax = new AmazonDaxClient({endpoints: ["DaxClusterEndpoint"], region: region})
    daxClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient({service: dax });
```
I can't use DocumentClient from SDK V3 to initialize it with AmazonDaxClient from SDK V3 and I also can't find any option to use "@aws-sdk/client-dax" with specified endpoint and then add it to DynamoDBDocumentClient from V3.

Any suggestions if it's even possible?  With usage of AmazonDaxClient my lambda is getting big in size.

Accepted Answer

Hi,

[@aws-sdk/client-dax](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/clients/client-dax/index.html) does not currently support Data Plane operations, only Control Plane such as ```CreateCluster```.

There is currently a feature request in place for Data Plane functionality, I will add you as a +1 to that request. There is currently no ETA for the feature release.

For now we suggest to use the AWS JS SDK V2.
