Issue: Error: Cant create DynamoDB table

Version: I used the actual master.

The terraform code:

```
resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "grades" {
  name         = "${var.service_name}.grades"
  billing_mode = "PAY_PER_REQUEST"
  hash_key     = "id"
  range_key    = "reference"

  attribute {
    name = "id"
    type = "S"
  }

  attribute {
    name = "reference"
    type = "S"
  }

  global_secondary_index {
    name            = "byReference"
    hash_key        = "reference"
    projection_type = "ALL"
  }

  lifecycle {
    prevent_destroy = true
  }

  tags = local.tags
}
```

The debug output of terraform:

```

The problem seems to be the global secondary index.
