  - 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).

public Statement getQuery(Object... objects)
```
    Creates a query to fetch entity given its PRIMARY KEY.
    The values provided must correspond to the columns composing the PRIMARY KEY (in the order of said primary key).
    This method is useful if you want to setup a number of options (tracing, conistency level, ...) of the returned statement before executing it manually, but in other cases, calling get(java.lang.Object...) or getAsync(java.lang.Object...) is shorter.

public com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture<T> getAsync(Object... objects)
```
    Fetch an entity based on its primary key asynchronously.
    This method is basically equivalent to mapping the result of: getManager().getSession().executeAsync(getQuery(objects)).
    
    Parameters:
    
    objects - the primary key of the entity to fetch, or more precisely the values for the columns of said primary key in the order of the primary key. Can be followed by Mapper.Option to include in the DELETE query.
    
    Returns:
    
    a future on the fetched entity. The return future will yield null if said entity doesn't exist.

    /** Maps the rows from a ResultSet into the class this is a mapper of.
    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.
