I would like an API with a variable number of arguments. Using Java varargs,
something like
value = keyspace.get("articles", "cars", "John Smith", "2010-05-01",
"comment-25");
or
valueArray = keyspace.get("articles", predicate1, predicate2, predicate3,
predicate4);
The storage layout would be determined by the configuration, as below:
<Column Name="ThingThatsNowKey" Indexed="True" ClusterPartitioned="True" ...
