Super Columns: top level column to have a list of sub column.
e.g.
row key: foo
column: bar
sub columns:
baz = qux
Composite columns: data types are defined by combining multiple types,
instances of the type are compared by comparing each component in turn.
e.g.
row key: foo
column: <bar:baz> = qux
in general prefer composite columns over super columns.
