The latest version for the logstash-input-dynamodb plugin is currently breaking my setup.

Whenever I try to start the logstash service I get a warning and I am asked to run the script with the configtest parameter which gives me this:

> The given configuration is invalid. Reason: Couldn't find any input plugin named 'dynamodb'. Are you sure this is correct? Trying to load the dynamodb input plugin resulted in this error: no such file to load -- logstash/inputs/dynamodb {:level=\>:fatal}

Currently my logstash configuration file related to this plugin is like this:

```
input {
    dynamodb{
      endpoint => "http://dynamodb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:8000"
      streams_endpoint => "http://streams.dynamodb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:8000"
      view_type => "new_image"
      aws_access_key_id => "access-key"
      aws_secret_access_key => "secret-key"
      table_name => "table-name"
      perform_scan => false
      checkpointer => "logstash_input_ptr"
      type => "my-type"
      }
...
}

```

and I am installing the plugin like this  
**/opt/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-input-dynamodb**

Now, I've managed to get it to work again by uninstalling the plugin and then reinstalling like this:

**/opt/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install --version=2.0.3 logstash-input-dynamodb**

I could not find much information about this new version and I was wondering what is happening.

Thanks in advance 🙂
