[DynamoDB] - Allow passing ddb endpoint_url to enable feast local testing #2358
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently in feature_store.yaml, we can only specify a region for DynamoDB provider. As a result, it requires an actual DynamoDB to be available when we want to do local development/testing or integration testing in a sandbox environment.
Describe the solution you'd like
A way to solve this is to let user pass an endpoint_url. More information can be found here.
This way, users can install and run a local dynamoDB, and use it as an online store locally.
The is especially useful when:
- accessing real DynamoDB requires a tedious and time-consuming steps (e.g.: IAM role set up, permissions, etc.) and these steps can be deferred later,
- integration testing locally, in docker, in Jenkins
Describe alternatives you've considered
