Idea: Be able to replace TableConnection for ResultIterator

[fernandoflorez]

Hello,

Not an issue but a discussion to see what you guys feel about this idea.

Since there is no DAX support on pynamodb we are using extra logic to cache results on redis. I'd like to have something built in to transparently integrate a connection chain, ex: redis -> dynamodb.

The goal would be to provide an alternative class (TableConnection like) to query for objects.

Maybe it could be implemented on meta?

class UserModel(Model):
    class Meta:
        connection_class = CustomConnection

    email = UnicodeAttribute(hash_key=True)
    ... 

This way on this custom class we could query external sources (like redis) and fallback to TableConnection if required.

What do you think of the idea?

Thanks!
