Description

There is no simple support for AWS KMS grant tokens.
Customers can extend `DirectKmsMaterialProvider`
and override the `generateDataKey` or the appropriate AWS KMS call.

Research direction

Start with sdk1/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/dynamodbv2/datamodeling/encryption/providers/DirectKmsMaterialProvider.java at the referenced generateDataKey or appropriate AWS KMS call. Trace how that call is made and determine the intended way for callers to supply grant tokens. Done means DirectKmsMaterialProvider offers simple support for AWS KMS grant tokens without requiring customers to override the provider.
