Hello
I'm importing a dynamodb table created with terraform with stream enabled and type to NEW_IMAGE. When I try to import the table and add consumers I have this message : "Please enable the "stream" option to add consumers to the "Table"
Is there any workaround or do I have to create the table with sst ?

Hm can you try importing the table and deploying _without_ adding the consumers

the import works without adding the consumers

So if your import, deploy, then add consumers it doesn't work? Is there a way to turn on stream in the aws ui?

i turned the stream on already with terraform

i expected that when importing the table i would import the config of the streaming and just have to add the consumers in lazy mode

This is the code in `addConsumer` that is throwing

```    if (!this.dynamodbTable.tableStreamArn) {
      throw new Error(
        `Please enable the "stream" option to add consumers to the "${this.node.id}" Table.`
      );
    }```

cc <@U01JVDKASAC> do we need this check here? Seems like it's empty on imported resources and we don't actually use this field

Yeah that makes sense! Just opened an issue <https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/issues/1036>

Hey <@U01UUV3HCRZ>, I dug into this further, so you need to import the table like this:
```dynamodb.Table.fromTableAttributes(this, "ImportedTable", {
  tableArn: "arn:aws:dynamodb:us-east-1:1234567890:table/myTable",
  tableStreamArn: "arn:aws:dynamodb:us-east-1:1234567890:table/myTable/stream/xxxxxxxxxx",
})```

ok thanks I will do it like that :slightly_smiling_face:

The `tableStreamArn` has to provided. And you can find it in your AWS DynamoDB console.

I thought it would be more intuitive ahah but yes I can use it as a workaround

To add some context, behind the scene, CDK needs to know the stream’s ARN when setting up the consumer.
