With Key's you get validation if you use composite types... Also, you get prettier output in cli, but the value is less than with composite columns.

My row keys will actually be a date range. Where the first value is the starting date and the second value will be the length of that date range.

Each column inside each row will represent metadata related to a specific product on during that date range.

My question would be do I get any advantages with using the CompositeType for my row key versus doing manual concatenation of the two values in my code?

    Phil,

    That's the problem with examples :)

    Row keys can be composite values.  That works just fine.  Was
    there something in particular you were trying to do?

    All the examples I've seen have been using a CompositeType only
    for Column names (or values).

    My particular use case involves having the two components in the
    key being a Date (no time component) and an Integer value.

    Thanks,

    Phil
