- Method Detail
  - getTableMetadata
```
public TableMetadata getTableMetadata()
```
    The TableMetadata for this mapper.
    
    Returns:
    
    the TableMetadata for this mapper or null if keyspace is not set.

  - saveQuery
```
public Statement saveQuery(T entity)
```
    Creates a query that can be used to save the provided entity.
    This method is useful if you want to setup a number of options (tracing, conistency level, ...) of the returned statement before executing it manually or need access to the ResultSet object after execution (to get the trace, the execution info, ...), but in other cases, calling save(T) or saveAsync(T) is shorter.
    
    Parameters:
    
    entity - the entity to save.
    
    Returns:
    
    a query that saves entity (based on it's defined mapping).

    This method is useful if you want to setup a number of options (tracing, conistency level, ...) of the returned statement before executing it manually or need access to the ResultSet object after execution (to get the trace, the execution info, ...), but in other cases, calling save(T) or saveAsync(T) is shorter.

    IllegalArgumentException - if the number of value provided differ from the number of columns composing the PRIMARY KEY of the mapped class, or if at least one of those values is null.
  - getAsync
```
public ListenableFuture<T> getAsync(Object... objects)

    If the query was user-generated (that is, passed directly to session.execute() or configured with @Query in an @Accessor-annotated interface), then only the columns present in the result set will be mapped to the corresponding fields, and Computed fields will not be populated.
    If the query was generated by the mapper (for example with getQuery(Object...)), all fields will be mapped, as if the object came from a direct get(Object...) call.
    
    Parameters:
    
    resultSet - the ResultSet to map.
    
    Returns:
    
    the mapped result set. Note that the returned mapped result set will encapsulate resultSet and so consuming results from this returned mapped result set will consume results from resultSet and vice-versa.
