        Perform a query of DynamoDB.  This version is currently punting
        and expecting you to provide a full and correct JSON body
        which is passed as is to DynamoDB.

        :type table_name: str
        :param table_name: The name of the table to query.

        :type hash_key_value: dict
        :param key: A DynamoDB-style HashKeyValue.

        :type range_key_conditions: dict
        :param range_key_conditions: A Python version of the
            RangeKeyConditions data structure.

        :type attributes_to_get: list
        :param attributes_to_get: A list of attribute names.
            If supplied, only the specified attribute names will
            be returned.  Otherwise, all attributes will be returned.

        :type limit: int
        :param limit: The maximum number of items to return.

        :type consistent_read: bool
        :param consistent_read: If True, a consistent read
            request is issued.  Otherwise, an eventually consistent
            request is issued.

        :type scan_index_forward: bool
        :param scan_index_forward: Specified forward or backward
            traversal of the index.  Default is forward (True).

            which to continue an earlier query.  This would be
            provided as the LastEvaluatedKey in that query.
