Excessive TableStatus wait in dynamodb

i have some 200+ tables in my dynamodb. Since all my tables have localSecondaryIndexes defined, i have to ensure that no table is in the CREATING status, at the time of my CreateTable() call.

While adding a new table, i list all tables and iterate through their names, firing describeTable() calls one by one. On the returned data, i check for TableStatus key. Each describeTable() call takes a second. This implies an average of 3 minute waiting time before creation of each table. So if i have to create 50 new tables, it takes me around 4 hours.

How do i go about optimizing this? i think that a BatchGetItem() call works on stuff inside the table and not table-metadata. Can i do a bulk describeTable() call?

It is enough that you wait until the last table you created becomes ACTIVE. Run DescribeTable on that last created table with a few seconds interval.
