Each compositeType consistes of a few components. Use ("bob", 1982) as an
example, it contains two components, I assume it is (utf8, integer). So when
you want to use a slice query, you need the start and end columns by add
components to them. That is what start.addCompo.... and end.addCompo...
means. For more information please refer to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2231

For you question, I think replace "abc" with "bob" should do the trick.
