Description
Describe the feature
The Enhanced client should identify JavaBeans properties based on getter methods. When a setter method is not present, the client should persist the property into DynamoDB but should not attempt to set the property on read. (If necessary, an explicit directive to do this such as Jackson's @JsonProperty(access) would be okay.)
Use Case
I have a table with a large number of derived properties for indexing. Currently, the Enhanced client fails to correctly identify properties that have only getter methods and not setter methods. As the use of derived properties to paste together main properties is the standard method of creating indexes for DDB, it would be helpful not to have to include dummy setters.
Proposed Solution
Modify BeanTableSchema#isMappableProperty not to exclude properties without setters, and allow missing setters to be interpreted as "no-op".
