Wrong possible ReturnValues documented for DynamoDB.Table.put_item

See original GitHub issue

In the Request Syntax of DynamoDB.Table.put_item the followings mentioned as possible ReturnValues: 'NONE'|'ALL_OLD'|'UPDATED_OLD'|'ALL_NEW'|'UPDATED_NEW' http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/dynamodb.html#DynamoDB.Table.put_item Below it is clarified by the following sentence:

PutItem does not recognize any values other than NONE or ALL_OLD .

But I still find the Request Syntax misleading. Anyway it seems logical that requesting any other kind of return values has no sense.

Thanks for bringing this back to our attention. I had another issue open here for the PutItem documentation: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk/issues/200

I updated that issue and our internal ticket to add the info from this issue. I hope to share an update there soon from the DynamoDB documentation team.
