amazon-kinesis-client: DynamoDB DependencyException

Hi, I am getting a dependency error from DynamoDB and as it is logged as ERROR and is thrown from KCL lease manager and I am unable to catch it separately to ignore. It seems like a transient issue from DynamoDB. Any idea how to handle / ignore this error? Thank you so much.
