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.

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.
